Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March 1879 and died
on the 18th of April 1955.

Born in Germany to a Jewish family, Einstein made many
contributions to the field of theoretical physics.

Even when very young, Einstein showed great ability in both
math’s and science. He was naturally curious and had a brilliant analytical
mind.

Einstein worked in a patent office evaluating patents for
electromagnetic devices not long after he graduated.

He produced perhaps one of the most famous equations ever: E
= mc² (energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared).

He is also well known for his theory of relativity. Special
relativity being introduced in his 1905 paper “On the Electrodynamics of Moving
Bodies” before Einstein developed the theory of general relativity between the
years of 1907 and 1915.

Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on
theoretical physics.

He worked on many other influential theories and projects
including: the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic
motion in solids, Brownian motion, an explanation for capillary action and much
more.

Famous Albert Einstein quotes include: “Whether you can
observe a thing or not depends on the theory which you use. It is the theory
which decides what can be observed.”

“Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind,
and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external
world.”

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my
imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is
limited. Imagination encircles the world.
