Albert Einstein is considered to be one of the greatest known scientists of human history. He was well known as a physicist for developing his famous theory of relativity. His theories stressed the similarity of mass and energy and developed an entirely new way of thinking about space, time, and gravitation. His theories of relativity and gravitation modernized scientific and philosophic inquiry.
Born on March 14, 1879, Einstein was raised in Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany. As a young boy, Einstein showed a unique interest in science and how things work. At age five, Hermann Einstein, Einstein's father, showed him a pocket compass. Even though he was only five, the strange movement of the compass needle quickly impressed Einstein.
Einstein was particularly fascinated on how the needle kept pointing the same direction no matter which way the compass was turned. Einstein attended a public school in Aarau and in Munich, Switzerland. Einstein later studied physics and mathematics at the......
