SourceEinstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. His parents were Hermann and Pauline Einstein.
-
In 1896 Einstein attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich for his training to become a teacher in physics and mathematics.
-
In 1903 Einstein marries his first wife Mileva Maric. They later had 2 sons, Hans and Eduard.
-
In 1905, Einstein earns his doctor's degree in physics and mathematics.
-
Einstein developed his theory of relativity, which states E=mc^2. Energy(E) equals mass(m) times the speed of light(c) squared. In laymans terms, a big object causes a distortion in space-time. Imagine a trampoline with a large ball in the middle, and a marble is placed on the edge. The trampoline will dimple and the marble will roll towards the ball in the center. This is known as gravity.
-
In 1919, due to an emotional breakdown, Mileva divorced Einstein. Einstein then married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal, who he had an affair with earlier.
-
In 1921, Einstein wins the Nobel Peace Prize for physics. He recieved the actual prize a year later due to a bureaucratic ruling.
-
Because of oppression and death threats from the Nazi party, Einstein decided to move to Princeton, New Jersey where he would spend the rest of his life.
-
Einsteinium was discovered during a nuclear bomb test in the Pacific ocean, by Albert Ghiorso.
-
Albert Einstein died in Princeton, New Jersey due to an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
-
In more recent times, gravitational waves were detected, proving Einstein's theory of relativity.
