Albert Einstein was born in southern Germany, in the city of Ulm, in 1987. About a year after that, he moved to Munich where his father ran a chemical factory.
Albert Einstein did not appear to be a genius at first. Unlike many people, Einstein's father introduced algebra to him. Einstein was so interested in it that when he was fourteen he started his own series of books on natural science. When Einstein got older he became so intensely involved in math that he enrolled in a college in Switzerland. Even though he was enrolled in college, Einstein usually stayed in his room and did studies on his own. Einstein graduated from college in 1900 and from there looked for employment.
Although it was hard to find, he finally got a job in the post in Bern, Switzerland. His duty there was to put applicants for patents in a clear form. This is probably where he got his remarkable physical insight.
1905 Einstein released four papers that were terribly important to the journal Annalen der Physik. The achievements in his papers brought widespread attention, but he was not recognized for his work until many years later. A few years after marrying his cousin, Einstein published his general theory of relativity. One of his predictions was how an eclipse was formed. Two British expeditions on the solar eclipse of May, 1919 tested this theory. His prediction was then confirmed and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.
Then in 1939 a group of scientists came for Einsteins help. They were afraid that Germany was making an atomic bomb, so they wanted the United States to make one first. The reason they asked Einstein for help was because his studies showed that there was a lot of power in atoms and they needed to use that theory to make the atomic bomb. Although this decision was hard for Einstein to make, he finally realized that th
