Brief Biography of Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, born in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Two months later the family moved to Munich, where he then began to attend school at the Luitpold Gymnasium. They later moved on to Italy and Albert continued his education at Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. He wanted to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, he gained his diploma, and became a Swiss citizen. But unable to find a teaching post, he then accepted a position as a technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. Later on he obtained his doctor's degree in the year 1905. During his stay in the Patent Office, and also during his breaks, he invented much of his remarkable work and also in 1908 he was then appointed Privatdozent. In 1909 Albert Einstein became a Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, and in 1911 the Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, he then returned to Zurich in the following year to fill in a similar post. Later in 1914 he was appointed the position of Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He then became a German citizen in the year 1914 and remained there until 1933 when he had to renounce his citizenship for many political reasons and then emigrated to America to take the position as a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton. That moment he new his whole life was going to change and that he was going to make history. Albert Einstein became a United States citizen late in 1940 and then retired from his post in 1945. After the World War II, Albert Einstein was a huge leading figure in the World of Government Movement, he was then offered the Presidency of the whole State of Israel, which he then declin...

..., over a decade old puzzle. While observing microscopic bits of plant pollen suspended in very still water, an English botanist Robert Brown had noticed in 1828 that even more tinier particles mixed in with the pollen exhibited a incessant, irregular "swarming" type of motion and since has been called “The Brownian motion." Even though atoms and molecules were still open to objection in 1905, Albert Einstein predicted that the random motions of molecules in a liquid state impacting on a larger suspended particles would result in irregular, random motions of the particles, which could be directly observed under a microscope. The predicted motion corresponded precisely with the puzzling Brownian motion! From this motion Einstein accurately determined the dimensions of the hypothetical molecules. Then by 1908 the molecules could no longer be considered as hypothetical.
