Albert Einstein

 Albert Einstein

Early Life


He was born the 14th of March of 1879 in Germany. In 1880 his family moved to Munich, where he was raised up to fourteen years. From the beginning, Einstein showed some difficulty in expressing himself since he didn´t speak until he was three years old, some people even started thinking that he had a delay that would cause him problems. He attended his primary studies in a Catholic school. He usually had good grades, not so much in language subjects but excellent in natural sciences. 


Professional Life

Einstein finished high school in 1896, at the age of sixteen. That same year he renounced his German citizenship presumably to avoid military service. One year later, Einstein entered the Federal Polytechnic school in Switzerland, probably the most important center for the study of science in central Europe. In 1900 he graduated and in 1901 he got his Switzerland citizenship. His biggest discovery is his equation      E = mc , which states that energy and mass are the same thing.



Personal Life

In October 1896 he met Mileva Maric, a classmate with feminist and radical disposition with whom he fell in love. After they graduated, in 1902 he had a daughter with Mileva called Liserl. A year later, Einstein and Mileva married the 6th of January of 1903. In 1904 they had another child called Hans Albert Einstein. In 1910 they had another son called Eduard. On February 14, 1919, at the age of thirty-nine he got divorced from Mileva, after a marriage of sixteen years, and a few months later he married his cousin, Elsa Loewenthal (they didn´t have any children). The 16th of April of 1955 Albert experienced an internal abdominal bleeding. He refused the surgery saying that he wont prolog his life artificially and that he would die gracefully. He died the 18th of April of 1955 at the age of seventy-six.


Conclusion

I chose this scientist because he is considered one of the bests scientists and I didn´t know a lot about him so I searched and I found it interesting.
