Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Albert Einstein and his family moved to Switzerland in 1896 where he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School where he trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, Albert Einstein acquired his diploma, but struggled to find work initially as a teacher. Albert Einstein later settled for a position as a technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In the year 1905 Einstein managed to obtain his doctor’s degree. In 1908, after working his tenure at the Patent Office Einstein became a professor at Zurich, in 1911 he then became the professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague. Then in 1914 Albert Einstein was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. Einstein began his questioning of scientific research gaining him some attention in the science community for thinking outside the box. Leading many to believe he truly was an immaculate genius. Albert Einstein is now known as a German physicist, who had a brain that was truly different making him one of the biggest and well known genius’ of our time.
When Albert Einstein died in 1955, his body was cremated and his ashes were scattered as he wished. However, before he was cremated, pathologist Thomas Harvey of Princeton hospital conducted Einstein’s autopsy and mysteriously removed the brain of Albert Einstein. Even though Harvey did not have any authorization to remove Einstein’s brain, he decided to keep it in his possession to run his own studies and research on the brain. But days into investigating Harvey decided to ask Einstein’s son if he could keep his brain for the greater good of brain science. For the next four decades, Harvey kept Eins...

When Albert Einstein was a young kid, his teachers believed that he was “too stupid to learn.” They suggested to his mother that he just skip school and start manual labor early, because he was a hopeless case. In spite of this, his mother continued to make him go to school; in addition, she also bought him a violin (24). Violin soon became one of his greatest passions, and he even stated that playing the violin was what made him intelligent. His friend, G.J. Withrow, had said that whenever Einstein had trouble figuring out an equation he would go and improvise on the violin (24).
In the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, there is one unordinary thing. A brain was kept for several years for studies and further research. scientist is finding how the person whom the brain belonged is a genius comparing to other who with his intelligence made the scientific world upside down and laid foundation to most of the important findings today. This is none other than Albert Einstein who was considered the most influential scientist in the 20thcentury. He who inspired a lot of people and supported that every man should be respected. He was one of the greatest and amazing scientists in the world. He experienced a pleasing childhood but faced a difficult education situation and developed a questioning mind during his early years. He successfully dealt with family, professional and religious challenges. He also impacted the scientific world in a number of ways.

Albert Einstein was the first child born to Hermann and Pauline Einstein, Jewish, middle-class Germans, on March 14, 1879 at Ulm, in Wurttemberg, Germany. Albert's sister, Maria, was born in November of 1881. They remained close throughout their lives.Einstein and sister 1 The Einstein family moved to Munich in 1880 to start their own business. Albert began his secondary schooling at Luitpold-Gymnasium. In 1894, the family business failed and the family moved to Milan, Italy. Albert stayed behind in Munich to finish his education at the Gymnasium. However, Albert hated the high school he attended and a teacher recommended that he leave, as his presence encouraged students' disrespect for teachers. So, at 15, he quit school to join his family in Italy.
Several intelligent freethinking individuals have occupied the world. Who, at first glance may appear to be completely incompetent and distorted as contributing members of our society. For Albert Einstein, he seemed to be no exception. Growing up having had a speech disability, “Einstein initially was thought to be simple-minded, and consequently would not achieve much in his lifetime.” In contrast, Einstein has manipulated almost every thought and question, which existed in his time and in ours. Whereas many mathematicians, scientist, and or philosophers were unable to answer unimaginable questions and theories that would improve the world we live in. That was no surprise to anyone. Einstein was able with little endeavor to organize and formulate the most complex equations and designs, making light of problems previously thought to be impossible.

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Württemberg, Germany, into a middle-class Jewish family that owned a small electrical equipment manufacturing shop. Einstein showed early signed of genius even though he did not talk until the age of three. Six weeks after he was born, his family moved to Munich; there he began school a few years later at the Luitpold Gymnasium.
Einstein was born March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany to Hermann Einstein and Pauline Koch, almost immediately the Einstein relocated to Munich, Germany where they started an electrotechnical business (Lewis). He began school in the Luitpold Gymnasium but due to their family’s business competitive market they moved to Milan, Italy for better opportunities. During His time in Milan Einstein studied in preparation to attend The Swiss Federal Polytechnic school in Zurich who admitted students through an exam. Once Einstein took the exam he came to learn that he had failed, although he was no admitted he did not give up on attending The Swiss Polytechnic. He eventually attended the Polytechnic school, having to first graduate from Aarau that guaranteed admittance. Although he had succeeded in being admitted and graduating from The Swiss Polytechnic many

The human brain is one of the most complex things that we, as a race know of. We still haven’t found a way to replicate one in the lab, and even our fastest supercomputers still envy the efficiency and processing power of the human brain. The humble origin of the human brain, however, has lead to some flaws. Reality is not an inherently constructed, or constant picture. The brain not only falls victim to dealers and tyrants of illusions, but also to its own flawed hardware.

Einstein: No not at all, lets see here... I was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14th of 1874. I was raised mostly in Munich, Germany. One very odd thing that my mother told me was that I didn't speak until I was three years old. My father owned a small electrochemical shop, once it failed in 1890 then my dad moved us to Million, Italy.
