In 1905, known as Einstein's "Annus Mirabilis," he published four pivotal papers that transformed physics. His work on the photoelectric effect introduced light as quantized particles. The Special Theory of Relativity redefined space and time with the famous equation E=mc². Collectively, these papers established Einstein as a leading figure in modern physics.

In 1921, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, not for his theory of relativity but for his explanation of the photoelectric effect, which laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. This recognition further solidified his status as a leading figure in modern physics.
International fame
In 1919, British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington led an expedition to observe a solar eclipse that offered a chance to test Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. The bending of starlight around the Sun, as predicted by Einstein, was confirmed, providing the first experimental proof of his theory. This validation catapulted Einstein to international fame, making him a global scientific celebrity overnight.

His legacy
Albert Einstein’s death on April 18, 1955, marked the end of a transformative life in science. Even as he passed from complications of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, Einstein’s intellectual legacy was cemented. His contributions to physics—especially the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics—revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Beyond his scientific work, Einstein's advocacy for civil rights, pacifism, and global cooperation solidified his role as both a scientific and moral icon. His ideas continue to influence scientific thought, while his humanitarian principles resonate across generations.

Photoelectric Effect
In this paper, Einstein introduced the idea that light can behave as both a wave and a particle, or "quanta." This concept laid the foundation for quantum mechanics and later earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. His work explained how light can cause electrons to be emitted from metal surfaces, challenging classical physics and paving the way for modern atomic theory.
Special Theory of Relativity
Einstein's groundbreaking paper on the Special Theory of Relativity fundamentally altered the concepts of space and time. It introduced the famous equation E=mc², demonstrating that mass and energy are interchangeable. This theory established that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and that the speed of light is constant in a vacuum.
Mileva Marić
In 1903, Albert Einstein married Mileva Marić, a fellow student from the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. Their relationship blossomed during their studies, and they shared a passion for physics and intellectual discussions. The couple had two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard.
1879 - Birth in Ulm, Germany
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in the small city of Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg, Germany. He was the first child of Hermann Einstein, a businessman, and Pauline Koch. His family was non-observant Jews, and their varied backgrounds contributed to Einstein's eclectic upbringing and curious nature.
Bronian Motion
In his paper on Brownian motion, Einstein provided a theoretical explanation for the erratic movement of particles suspended in a fluid. This phenomenon supported the atomic theory of matter, as his calculations confirmed the existence of atoms and molecules, providing empirical evidence that solidified the idea of atomic structure.
Mass Energy Equivalence
In this paper, Einstein expanded on the idea of mass-energy equivalence, showing that mass could be converted into energy and vice versa. This concept not only transformed theoretical physics but also had profound implications for nuclear energy and technology.
Did youknow...
In the fall of 1894, Einstein's family moved to Milan, Italy, following his father's business endeavors. Displeased with the rigid educational environment in Munich, Einstein left his school and joined his family in Italy. Later, he enrolled at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich.
First Solvay Conference
Einstein attended the First Solvay Conference in Brussels in 1911, where he met some of the most prominent scientists of the time, including Max Planck. This gathering focused on quantum theory, and Einstein's participation allowed him to exchange ideas and collaborate with leading minds in the field, deepening his engagement with emerging scientific concepts.
Interaction with David Hilbert
During the development of his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein engaged in discussions with mathematician David Hilbert. Their collaboration was instrumental in refining Einstein's ideas on gravitation, as Hilbert's mathematical expertise helped clarify the complex concepts underlying the theory. This interaction highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing scientific knowledge.
Start of his academic career
In 1909, Albert Einstein was appointed as a professor at the University of Zurich, marking a significant milestone in his academic career. This position allowed him to further explore his scientific ideas and contribute to the academic community, gaining recognition for his innovative thinking and groundbreaking theories.
General Theory of Relativity
In 1915, Einstein completed his General Theory of Relativity, a revolutionary framework that replaced Newton's law of gravitation. This theory proposed that gravity is not a force but a curvature of spacetime caused by mass, fundamentally changing the understanding of how objects interact in the universe. It is considered one of his most significant contributions to science.
1922-1927: International Influence
Following his Nobel Prize, Einstein became a global ambassador of science. He traveled extensively, delivering lectures and participating in prominent scientific conferences around the world. His tours took him to the United States, Japan, and across Europe, where he promoted his theories and engaged with scientists of various disciplines. These travels helped spread his influence far beyond academia, making him a household name and a symbol of intellectual achievement across the globe.
Letter to FDR
In 1939, Einstein co-signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, warning him that Nazi Germany might develop nuclear weapons. This letter played a pivotal role in launching the Manhattan Project, the U.S. effort to build the atomic bomb during World War II.
Manhattan Project and Later work
Though Einstein did not participate in the Manhattan Project, he remained an outspoken advocate on political and social issues. He supported civil rights, disarmament, and global peace, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and ethical responsibility in the use of scientific advancements.
Escape from Nazi Germany
In 1933, as Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, Einstein, being of Jewish descent, fled the country to avoid persecution. He settled in the United States and joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. There, he continued his theoretical work, free from the dangers of the Nazi regime.
