Why was Albert Einstein famous?
Albert Einstein was famous as an author and brilliant Physicist in pioneering work with his special theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy equivalence: E = mc2
- 1879- This timeline starts on March 14, 1879 when Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. His parents were Hermann and Pauline Einstein
- 1884- The Compass - When he was only five years old his father showed Albert a pocket compass and he was fascinated by the thought that something unseen was moving the needle
- 1885 -1888- The Einstein family did not observe Jewish religious practices and Albert attended a Catholic elementary school
- 1889- Albert Einstein is introduced to a family friend called Max Talmud who introduced the boy to books on science and mathematics. Albert starts his quest for facts and information available about the sciences. He attends the Luitpold-Gymnasium in Munich for the next six years
- 1901- February 21: Albert Einstein acquires Swiss citizenship. He completes his first scientific paper on the capillary forces of a straw. Mileva becomes pregnant and moves to live with her parents in to Hungary to give birth to their baby. Albert moves to Bern.
- 1905- His Special Theory of Relativity is born and he applies his theory to mass and energy and formulates the famous equation e=mc2. Einstein has four papers published in the Annalen der Physik, the leading German physics journal. 1905 is known as Einstein's "Wonderful Year".
- 1914- Albert and Mileva separate and live apart. Einstein is appointed Professor at University of Berlin WW1 begins and Einstein signs anti-war "Manifesto to Europeans"
- 1919- February 14, 1919: Einstein and Mileva divorce and Einstein marries his cousin Elsa on May 29. A solar eclipse proves Einstein's General Theory of Relativity
- 1922- Albert Einstein is awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for 1921
- 1933- January: Adolf Hitler appointed Chancellor of Germany Albert Einstein leaves Germany and emigrates to U.S. in September and settles in Princeton, New Jersey where he assumes a post at the Institute for Advanced Study.
- 1939 World War 2 starts and Albert Einstein warns President Roosevelt that Germany might build an atomic bomb. He then recommends nuclear research
- 1955 Co-signs the Russell-Einstein Manifesto warning of the nuclear threat
April 17: Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding
April 18: He died in Princeton Hospital at the age of 76ss
