ALBERT EINSTEIN
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14th, 1879. He grew up in Germany, Italy, and
Switzerland. Einstein taught himself geometry when he was 12 years old. School made him bored
because it required endless memorizing and reciting. He often skipped classes to study on his own
or to play his violin.

Einstein made many theories on Physics, but the most famous theory is about atomic energy.
Einstein said that matter and energy is the same thing. He expressed this relation in a famous
equation: E=mc2. This equation says that energy (E) equals mass (m) times the speed of light
squared (c2). Energy can therefore be changed into matter, and matter into energy. The ability to
turn matter into energy led to the development of the atomic bomb and nuclear power.

Einstein’s theories made him famous, even though few people understood them. He became a
university professor and director of a physics institute in Berlin, Germany. After the Nazis rose to
power in Germany, Einstein left. In 1933, he came to the United States, where he lived the rest of
his life. Einstein died in Princeton, New Jersey, on April 18, 1955.
