Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was known to be one of, if not the smartest scientist on earth.  Einstein�s beliefs and theories were scientifically advanced and ahead of his time.  Einstein was especially known for his theory of relativity.
     Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm Wurttemburg, Germany.    Einsteins parents, Hermann and Paulina Kochwho were nonobservant Jews, moved to Munich when Einstein was only an infant.

After public school in Munich and in Aarau, Switzerland,Einstein failed an exam that would have allowed him to recieve adiploma as an electrical engineer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.  The next year he enjoyed a year at nearby Aarau secondary school.  Here,he was educated by excellent teachers and first rate facilities in physics.  In 1896 Einstein  returned to the Zurich Polytechnic, where four years later he graduated as a secondary  school teacher of Mathmatcs and physics.
     Two years later he obtained a job at the Swiss patent office in Bern.  This was an acceptional job for Einstein because it required careful attention and Einstein also obtained a large amount of publications in theoretical physics.  One of the papers writt...
