Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in
Germany. He is known throughout the world as one of the greatest scientists. He was a genius. When he was born his head was bigger than the rest of his body. His mother was very frightened. As he grew up, it became less visible. Another strange thing, about Einstein, was that he only started to speak when he was three years old. He was very quiet tuntil he was nine years old. Einstein was ia very strange child compared to most other children.
At age twelve Einstein learned complex mathematics on his own. He was very bored with the simple work at school. He always wanted to learn more and more. So, besides learning at school, he loved studying on his own. He read a lot of books that were not in the school course. A lot of people began to think Einstein was very stupid because he did not do so well in his school subjects. What they did not know was that he was too intelligent for the school work they gave him.
He loved studying physics and maths the best and loved to play the violin in his free time. He became world famous when he came up with the scientific formula E=mc2.
Some of Einstein's ideas were used by other scientists to make bombs. However, Einstein himself was a peaceful man. He talked very much about how the world is better without bombs and war. He will be known forever as one of the greatest minds of the world.
Einstein died on April 18th 1955,
