Albert Einstein, born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, was one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century. He is best known for his groundbreaking theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
Einstein’s early life was marked by academic curiosity and a passion for science. He attended the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, where he graduated as a physics and mathematics teacher. However, it wasn’t until 1905, in what is often referred to as his “miracle year,” that he published four groundbreaking papers that reshaped the field of physics.
