Albert Einstein, arguably the most famous scientist of the 20th century, was born in Germany on March 14, 1879. His father, who owned an electronics company, was likely the catalyst that sparked son's fascination with science and electronics. His father gave Albert a compass to pass the time when the five-year-old boy was sick in bed. This gift is thought to have started Einstein's interest in science.

Einstein suffered speech problems in his early childhood, causing his parents to think he might be intellectually slow. They were wrong! Many consider him to be the smartest man of the 20th century.

A theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein revolutionized scientific thought and laid the foundation for modern physics. He developed the Theory of Relativity which includes the well-known equation E=mc2. This development opened the door for the creation of the atomic bomb.

In 1901, after Einstein received his diploma as a teacher of physics and mathematics, he was unable to find a teaching position, so he went to work for the Swiss patent office.

He obtained his doctoral degree in 1905, the same year he published four important papers, introducing the concepts of special relativity and the photon theory of light

Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics for his contributions to the science and, more specifically, for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.

Fleeing the Nazis because he was Jewish, Einstein immigrated to the United States in 1933 and became a U.S. citizen seven years later.

Although he was not a citizen of Isreal, Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of the country in 1952. The scientist said that he was honored by the offer, but declined.

Albert Einstein, who enjoyed sailing and playing the violin, died on April 18, 1955, in Princeton New Jersey. Einstein's brain was preserved for science, though it's unclear if he had ever consented to donate the organ.
