Albert Einstein

Albert's years into adulthood

7 BCE

Einstein's formal secondary education ended at age sixteen. He disliked school, and just as he was planning to find a way to leave without hurting his chances for entering the university, his teacher expelled him because his bad attitude was affecting his classmates. On the advice of the principal, he first obtained his diploma at the Cantonal School in Aarau, There he came to realize that he was more interested in and better suited for physics than mathematics.

These papers made Einstein famous, and universities soon began competing for his services. In 1909, after serving as a lecturer at the University of Bern, Einstein was called an associate professor at the University of Zurich. Two years later he was appointed a full professor at the German University in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Within another year-and-a-half, Einstein became a full professor at the FIT.

American career

Einstein played a key role in 1939 in the construction of the atomic bomb by signing a famous letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It said that the Germans had atomic weapons. This led to an all-out U.S. effort to construct such a bomb. Einstein was deeply shocked and saddened when his famous equation E=mc 2 was finally demonstrated in the most awesome and terrifying way by using the bomb to destroy Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945.
