Albert Einstein
1879-1955
He was a brilliant scientist who helped us understand space, time, and light.
Early Life
Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in a town called Ulm, in Germany. As a child, he was very curious and loved asking questions about how things worked. He did not speak much when he was very young, but he thought deeply about the world around him.
Albert enjoyed puzzles, math, and music, especially playing the violin. He sometimes felt bored in school because he liked learning in his own way. Even when school felt hard, he never gave up on his love of thinking and learning.
Learning and Big Ideas
As Albert grew older, he studied science and math in school and college. After finishing his studies, he worked in an office that checked inventions. This job gave him time to think about his own ideas.
In 1905, Albert had an amazing year where he wrote several important science papers. One of his ideas later became known as the theory of relativity. This theory helped people understand how time and space can change depending on how fast you move.
Achievements
Albert Einstein became famous around the world for his smart and creative thinking. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on light. This award showed how important his ideas were to science.
His famous equation, E = mc², showed that energy and matter are connected. This idea helped scientists learn more about the universe, stars, and even modern technology.
Later Life
Albert moved to the United States later in his life and became a teacher at a university. He enjoyed sharing ideas with students and other scientists. He believed learning should be fun and full of curiosity.
Even though he was very famous, Albert lived simply and kindly. He cared about peace and encouraged people to think carefully and be kind to one another.
Legacy
Albert Einstein is remembered as one of the greatest scientists of all time. His ideas are still used today in science, space studies, and technology like GPS.
He showed the world that imagination and curiosity are just as important as hard work. Albert’s life teaches kids that it is okay to think differently and to always keep asking questions.
