Albert Einstein

Did you know that Albert Einstein’s hair earned almost as much fame as his ideas? Or imagine having a superpower that lets you bend space and time! In this one-minute journey, we’ll learn about the scientist who cracked the code of the Universe.

Born in Germany in 1879, Einstein grew up asking questions about light, time, and space. He lived during a time when trains and telephones were new inventions. By the time he was a young man, he was already writing papers that would change science forever. He loved playing the violin and sailing, showing that fun and curiosity go hand in hand.

In 1905, known as his 'miracle year', Einstein published four papers that shook science. One was the special theory of relativity, with the famous equation E=mc^2. This equation tells us that mass and energy are two forms of the same thing. It’s like turning matter into pure energy! He also explained how light can behave like tiny particles of energy called photons.

Thanks to Einstein’s work, scientists could build new technologies like GPS satellites that use relativity to give you directions on your phone. His ideas also led to medical tools such as PET scans that help doctors see inside your body. He inspired future physicists to explore black holes, quantum mechanics, and beyond.

Einstein’s curiosity and imagination changed how we see the Universe. He showed that asking big questions and never giving up can lead to amazing discoveries. He once said, 'Imagination is more important than knowledge,' reminding us that dreaming big helps science grow. Who knows what mysteries you might solve one day?
