My story is titled The life of a Scientist by name Albert Einstein.


Once upon a time there lived a Scientist by name Albert Einstein.

The Scientist was born on the 14th March,1879 in Ulma, who happens to be a German born theoretical physicist.

The known Scientist Albert Einstein was widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest Physicist of all time. Again Albert Einstein was best known for also developing the Theory of Relativity in Physics,he also made some relevant contributions to the development of the Theory of Quantum mechanics.

The Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics.

In addition , Albert Einstein the Physicist formulated the formula the Mass Energy Equivalence formula E=mc2 which arises from the Relativity theory that has been dubbed The Worlds famous equation.

Again his work is also known for its influence on the Philosophy of science.

Albert Einstein received the 1921,Nobel Prize in Physics for his services in theoretical physics and also for the discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.

The law happens to be a step in the development of Quantum theory. Also the intellectual achievement and it's originality resulted in Albert Einstein becoming a genius.

During the year 1905, described as annus mirabilis or the miracle year ,Albert Einstein published four ground breaking papers.

This also outlines the Theory of Photoelectric effect explained by Brownian motion.

Also Albert Einstein thought that the laws of classical mechanics could no longer be recorded with those of the electromagnetic field,which then led him to develop the theory of relativity.

As noted , Albert Einstein then extend the theory to gravitational fields ,where he then published a paper on general relativity in 1916.

Again in 1916, introducing this theory of Gravitation.


During the subsequent year in 1917,he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the Universe.

He then continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory,which led to the explanation of particle theory and the motion of molecules.

In addition ,he also investigated the thermal properties of light and the Quantum theory of Radiation which laid the foundation of the Photon theory of light.


However he worked and had a career . Apart from Albert Einstein contributions to the aspect of Quantum mechanics he opposed and evolved that Nature does not play dice.

Also Albert Einstein,attempted to then devise a unified field theory Theory of Gravitation to include electromagnetism. Albert Einstein was born in the German empire but moved to Switzerland in 1895.

In 1897,when Albert Einstein was at the age of seventeen years ,he enrolled in both Mathematics and Physics teaching diploma programs.

Also in 1901,Albert Einstein acquired Swiss citizenship which he kept for the rest of his life. He was awarded a PhD by the University of Zurich and later moved to Berlin in order to gain the Prussian Academy of Sciences and the Humboldt University of Berlin.

During the year 1917, Einstein became the Director of the Kaiser Wihelm Institute of Physics.

Albert Einstein the scientist was a German citizen.


As observed in 1933, Albert Einstein objected to the newly elected Nazi government. Again as observed Albert Einstein then settled in the United States of America and became an American citizen in the year 1940.

It is noted that Albert Einstein parents were Hermann Einstein a sales man and an Engineer and his mother was Pauline Koch.

Albert Einstein attended the Catholic Elementary school in Munich ,Germany at the age of five and three years.

At the age of eight years he was traferred to the Litpold Gymnasium known as the Albert Einstein Gymnasium.

Again Albert Einstein received his advanced primary and secondary education education at at the Litpold Gymnasium known as the Albert Einstein Gymnasium.

Albert Einstein wrote that the spirit of learning and creative thought was lost in a strict role of learning.

Also at the end of December 1894 he travelled to Italy to then join his family in Pavia convincing the school to lyhim go by using a doctor's note.


In addition during his stay and time in Italy he wrote a short essay on the title On the Investigation of the state of the Ether in a Magnetic field.

Albert Einstein excelled at both Maths and Physics from a young age reaching a mathematical level years ahead of his peers.

The twelve year old Albert Einstein taught himself Algebra and Euclidean geometry.


Also Albert Einstein later discovered his own original proof of the Pythagorean theorem at the age of twelve. Later Einstein devoted himself to higher mathematics.

Albert Einstein was interested in philosophy and music.

In addition Einstein introduced the Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.

In 1895, at the age sixteen years Albert Einstein took part in in the Entrance examination for Swiss Federal Poltechnic school in Zurich.

At seventeen years he enrolled in the four year program at Federal Poltechnic school.

Again Marie Winteler moved Olsberg Switzerland for a teaching post in his career. Albert Einstein got married to Maric and had a daughter by name Lieceseri in 1902.

Also both Einstein and Maric married on January,1903.

In addition Albert Einstein had a son by name Hans Albert Einstein who was born in Bern Switzerland.


In 1920, Albert Einstein became a Foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Also in 1922,Albert Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his service to Theoretical physics and the discovery of the Law of Photoelectric effect.


In addition Albert Einstein was elected a Foreign member of the Royal society in 1921.Albert Einstein delivered several lectures at Colombia University,Princeton University and Washington University.

Again he delivered a lecture at Kings College ,London.

Albert Einstein then published an essay titled My First impressions of the United States of America in July,1921 where he described the characteristics of America.

He also visited Asia including countries like Singapore ,Ceylon and Japan, where he gave a series of talks and lectures.

Albert Einstein was praisedas an international peacemaker and an Activist.

Also Albert Einstein visited Spain in 1923 where he was named as a member of the Spanish Academy of Sciences.Albert Einstein promoted Catholic values.

Albert Einstein published hundreds of books and Articles. The general relativity is a theory of Gravitation developed by Albert Einstein.

During March and April 1925 Albert Einstein visited South America where he spent a month in Argentina and a week in Uruguay and Brazil.

The visits of Einstein and his wife was financed by the Council of the University of Buenos Aires.

On December,1930 Einstein visited America for the second as working visit as a Research fellow at the California Institute of Technology.

Albert Einstein also took a photo with the former Hollywood actor Charlie Chaplin. Albert Einstein noted that that science was often inclined to do more than good . Einstein later befriend the Author Upton Sinclair and the film star Charlie Chaplin.

In 1935, Einstein arrived at the decision to remain in the USA and apply for citizenship. However in 1940 Albert Einstein became an American citizen. Albert Einstein corresponded with the civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois. In 1946, Einstein was awarded an honorary degree at Lincoln University.

Lincoln University was the first in the United States to grant college degrees to African Americans.

Einstein gave a speech about Raccism in America and he paid the college tuition of black students.

Albert was a Jew so he knew how black people feel as victims of descrimination.

In 1916, Albert Einstein predicted gravitational waves ripples in the curvature of spacetime.

Albert Einstein helped establish the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and he was a member of the board of governors.

The Prime Minister of Israel by name David Ben Gurion offered Albert Einstein who was a Jew the position of President of Israel but he refused the offer.

Albert Einstein loved music.

In 1918,Albert Einstein became one of the founding members of the German Democratic Party a liberal party.

Albert Einstein was also impressed by the works of Mahatma Gandhi.


Finally, Albert Einstein on 17th April,1955 experienced an internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He did not live to complete his speech. However Albert Einstein refused surgery saying ,I want to die when I want . He also added that it was tasteless to actually prolong life artificially.

Lastly Albert Einstein died at the University medical center of Princeton at Plainsboro at the age of seventy six years.

Also during the autopsy ,the pathologist Thomas Stolz Harvey removed Albert Einstein brain for preservation without the permission of his family.

Due to the fact that the beriscience of the future would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent and a genius.

Again Albert Einstein remains were cremated in Trenton ,New Jersey in the United States of America and his ashes was scattered at an undisclosed location.

Albert Einstein in his Will bequeathed his personal archives ,library and intellectual Assets to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel.

So cool how you took the prompt as an opportunity to tell the story of a real person, and I didn't even know Einstein was against racism. That's so nice to learn since I'd always assumed he was another brilliant scientist who probably found people of colour inferior.
