Albert Einstein In His Early Years...
Albert When He Was 3..
As a child, Albert had an extraordinary curiosity for understanding the mysteries of science (at the age of 10/11). As a typical child, Albert took music lessons, he played both the violin and piano. He first moved to Italy, and then to Switzerland. He graduated from High-school in 1896.
In 1905, while working as a patient clerk in Bern, Switzerland , Albert had become what came to be his "Miracle Year". It was during this time that the young physicist obtained his doctorate degree and published four of his best research papers, including the Special Theory of Relativity. In that, The world famous equation "E=mc2" unlocked mysteries of the universe therefore unknown.
Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problem of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as stepping-stones for the next advance.

Albert Einstein in The Later Years...
Ten years later, in 1915, Albert completed his General Theory of Relativity and in 1921 he was awarded the Noble Prize in Physics. It also boosted him to international superstardom and his name became a household word with genius all over the world! Albert moved to the Untied States in the autumn of 1933 and took up residence in Princeton, New Jersey and a professorship at the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study.
Today, the applications of Albert's theories include the development of the television, remote control devices, automatic door openers, lasers, and DVD players. He is recognized as TIME magazines "Person of the Century" in 1999.
Einstein's new general theory of relativity predicted a remarkable effect: when a ray of light passes near a massive body, the ray should be bent. For example, starlight passing near the sun should be slightly deflected by gravity. This could be measured when the sun's own light was blocked during an eclipse. Einstein predicted a specific amount of deflection, and the prediction spurred British astronomers to try to observe a total eclipse in May 1919. The starlight had been deflected just as Einstein had predicted.
Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War?(1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are the most important.
