Albert Einstein is considered one of the most extraordinary scientific thinkers in all of history. His theories about the nature and dimensions of time and space changed the way people thought about the physical world immensely and established many of the fundamental foundations for an enormous amount of scientific discoveries and inventions in the 21st century. Albert Einstein was born on He was born on March 14, 1879 in Württemberg, Germany, into a middle-class Jewish family who owned a small electrical equipment manufacturing shop. Einstein showed signs of genius early even though he didn't speak until he was three. Six weeks after his birth, his family moved to Monaco; he started school there a few years later at Luitpold Gymnasium. As a child, Einstein was a little out of the ordinary, not entirely interested in the typical activities that other children enjoyed, while Albert was fascinated by music, science and mathematics. He loved playing the violin and taught himself Euclidean geometry. Unfortunately, as Einstein's talent and genius became more evident, he began to despise the teachings of his school because they subjugated his creativity and genius. Einstein ended up dropping out of school in 1894 at the age of 15. The family business was on the verge of bankruptcy and could no longer remain open, so the family decided to close it and move to Switzerland. Albert Einstein followed his family and, upon their arrival, resumed his studies again. Subsequently, Einstein was accepted to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Then, in 1986, he decided to renounce his German citizenship and remain stateless for a while before officially becoming a Swiss citizen in 1901. While attending S...... middle of paper ......he revealed himself as the “strong force”. Further scientific exploration also allowed satellites in space to verify the principles of Einstein's scientific cosmology. As the years have passed, Albert Einstein's work has become one of the most famous scientific theories ever proposed and will continue to guide many scientific experiments and discoveries for centuries to come.
