Albert Einstein was one of the most illustrious scientists of the 20th century.  He made the famous and revolutionary discovery of the Theory of Relativity.  Einstein promulgated his Theory of Relativity in 1905 when his scientific research papers were published.  This discovery established his reputation among the physicists of Europe.  This Theory of Relativity states that the speed of light appears to be the same whether an object is moving rapidly to meet it or going away from it.  






Einstein's Scientific Experiments enabled him to give some new theories regarding space, time and gravitation.  In 1912, Einstein became a Professor at the ZurichPolytechnic(Switzerland).  In 1914, he was invited to become a Professor at Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.






When Hitler, who had a hatred for Jews, came to power in Germany in 1933, Einstein left Germany and settled permanently in America.  During World War II, he worked for US Navy.






Einstein was born on 14th March, 1879 at Ulma in Germany.  In Switzerland, Einstein completed his early education and spent four years in the Polytechnical Academy of Zurich.  Einstein obtained his Bachelor's Degree in 1900.  He was appointed as an inspector of patents at Berne.  In 1905, he got a Ph.D., from Zurich University.





An International fame to Enistein as a Scientist of a very high calibre came in 1919, when his scientific theories were given recognition by the Royal Society of London.  Thereafter, he made a wide tour across Europe, explaining his views to the Intellectuals.







In 1921,  Einstein was awarded Nobel Prize in Physics.  In 1930, he met Nobel Prize Winner in Literature,  Mr. Rabindranath Tagore.






The next three years were spent by Einstein in Touring around the World, explaining about the scientific theories to the people which became thereby more transparent without changing their contents. 





Einstein developed an appreciation of Music at an early age.  His mother played Piano and she wanted her son to become Violinist.  Einstein said " If I were not a Physicist, I would probably a Musician.  I often think in Music.  I live my day dreams in Music.  I see my life in terms of Music.  I get most joy in my life out of Music.






Einstein's views about religious belief have been collected from interviews and original writings.  He called himself an agnostic, while disassociating himself from the label athiest.  He said he believed in the "Panthiestic God" Baruch Spinoza.






Throughout of his life, Einstein published hundreds of books and articles.  In addition to the work which he did by himself, he also collaborated with other Scientists on the additional projects including the "BOSE - EINSTEIN STATISTICS" .






The Annus Mirabilis" papers are four articles pertaining to the Photoelectric Effect(Quantum Theory), Brownian Motion, the Special Theory of Relativity and E = mc2  that Albert Einstein published in the Annalen Der Physik Scientific Journal in 1905.  These four works contributed substantially to the foundation of Modern Physics and changed views on Space, Time and Matter.  






On 17 April 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by rupture of an abdominal aneurysm.  Einstein refused surgery, saying "I want to go when I want.  It is tasteless to prolong the life artificially, I have done my share, it is time to go.  I will do it elegantly."  He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.
