Albert Einstein was born in Germany on the 14th of March 1879. As a child, Albert was not a talkative child and he can barely talk until the age of three. His father has an electric equipment business. Since childhood, he was highly interested in nature and he was very capable of physics and mathematics. Einstein Secondary Education was completed at the age of 16 in Switzerland. Teachers don’t consider Einstein as a good student and they don’t recommend him for employment.

The man who changed our understanding about behaviour things like gravity, time and light.
Albert Einstein was German born American scientist. He revolutionized the physics in science. Albert Einstein is well known for his relativity theory, which states that the measurement of time and space changes as per the conditions like the state of Motion of observer. Also, he is famous for his energy and mass formula E=mc2 . Though the scientist nowadays had accepted Einstein ideas but at the time of his invention it was revolutionary so some of the people at that time were not even able to understand his ideas. Einstein is considered as one of the smartest people of 20th century. He often recognized as consummate physicist/scientist
Miracle Year (1905)
A famous picture of Einstein in 1947
Albert Einstein has submitted the thesis of doctoral. He published four scientific papers and each paper is considered to be a very huge contribution towards science. The paper was about : - The photoelectric effect - Brownian motion - Special relativity - The equivalence of mass and energy All the papers were published in one year which is a miracle to everyone. Einstein was only 26 when he published these papers. Equivalence of Mass and Energy The famous equation of Einstein was invented in 1905. => E=mc2 <= The equation states that any particle that has mass (m) has an equal amount of energy (E) as it is multiplied by c2 where c is considered to be the speed of light. Theory of Relativity - In 1905, Einstein determined the Theory of Relativity. It states that for all non-accelerating observer, the laws of physics are same and the speed of that light is not dependent on the motion of an observer.
Einstein becomes famous to community of physics (1911)

As people came to know about the researches Einstein has made they started argued but with the time being it was accepted by everyone and he was known as the most intelligent man in the physics world. In 1911 he was the physics professor in Prague at University of Karl-Ferdinand. After the theory of relativity, his first prediction in 1911 which shows that the powerful gravity of sun would bend the path of light that comes from the stars which pass close to the sun.
Nobel Prize, Medals and Honors (1921,1925, 1935) (1921)
Nobel Prize at 1921
Albert Einstein awarded by Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 because of his great contribution towards physics. In 1925 he was awarded prestigious medal for quantum theory contribution and Relativity theory by The Royal Society of London. He was also awarded a Franklin medal in 1935 for photoelectric effect and relativity work by Franklin Institute.
Good decision (1933)
Einstein becomes US citizenship certificate from judge Phillip Forman
In 1933, while Einstein was visiting the USA, in Germany Adolf Hitler came to power. Because he was Jewish, Einstein decided not to return to Germany. He settled in the USA and became an American citizen in 1940. In 1903 Albert Einstein married Mileva Marić and they had two boys Hans Albert and Eduard. Later he got divorced and married in 1919 Elsa Löwenthal.
Later Years of Einstein (1955)

Einstein made the greatest discoveries in his young age. In the later years of Einstein, he continues his work with science, but he made no discoveries further. He made his interest in politics and the world. On 18th of April Albert Einstein died due to abdominal aortic aneurysm. Einstein wishes that people should be respected by their humanity and not by their country and religion. He said once by expressing cynicism for the pride of nationalism: “If the theory of relativity proved right then Swiss will call me as a Swiss citizen, Germans will call me German and French will call me scientist and if it went wrong then Germans will can me Swiss citizen, French will call me German, Swiss will call me French”.

Comments & Conclusions
Albert Einstein a science superstar but also a very human
The prowess of Albert Einstein is today not disputed anymore. His scientific brilliance is beyond reproach. During the Nazi area that was different, especially since he was a liberal and even worse in their eyes - Jewish. His shortcomings were more on his private live such as the terrible marriages or how he acted as father. Einstein said, “I treat my wife as an employee whom I cannot fire.” Also, he made very strange agreements which did not show much love, affection or even respect. After he got divorced, he was not interested to see his children and rather focused on his work. Nevertheless, the eminent Einstein scholar John Stachel once mentioned about him: “Too much of an idol was made of Einstein. He's not an idol – he's a human, and that's much more interesting.” Albert Einstein was on of the most important scientist in the history of humanity.
