Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany. He was a very smart man who changed the way we think about the universe. When he was a young boy, he liked to explore and understand how things worked.

He went to college in Switzerland to learn about physics and math. After college, he worked at a place where they checked new inventions. This job gave him time to think and write about his ideas.

In 1905, Einstein wrote four important papers. These writings were about light, atoms, and energy. They were so good that they made him famous. One of his famous ideas is called the Theory of Relativity. This theory explains how time and space work together.

Because of his great work, Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. This is a very special prize that is given to people who do excellent work in science.

In the 1930s, Einstein moved to the United States. He was worried about the safety of Jewish people in Germany because of the government there. He lived in the US for the rest of his life and became a citizen.

Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. He was 76 years old. He died because his heart was weak.

Fun fact : Albert Einstein never wore socks because he thought they were unnecessary. He joked that going without socks helped his brain work better.
