# Early Life and Education

Einstein was born to Hermann Einstein, an engineer, and Pauline Koch, a homemaker. He grew up in a middle-class Jewish family and was an average student in school. However, Einstein's curiosity and passion for learning drove him to self-study advanced mathematics and physics.


# Theoretical Physics

Einstein's interest in theoretical physics led him to study physics at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic University. After completing his studies, he worked as a patent clerk in Bern, Switzerland, where he evaluated patent applications related to electrical and mechanical inventions.


# Theory of Relativity

In 1905, Einstein's annus mirabilis (miracle year), he published four groundbreaking papers that transformed the field of physics. His theory of special relativity challenged the long-held notion of absolute time and space. He introduced the famous equation E=mc², which demonstrates the equivalence of mass and energy.


# General Relativity

In 1915, Einstein expanded his theory of special relativity to include gravity with his theory of general relativity. He proposed that gravity is not a force, but rather the curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects.


# Impact and Legacy

Einstein's work has had a profound impact on the development of modern physics. His theory of relativity has been extensively tested and confirmed, and it has led to numerous breakthroughs in fields such as astrophysics, cosmology, and particle physics.


# Awards and Honors

Einstein received numerous awards and honors for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. He was also awarded the Copley Medal, the Max Planck Medal, and the Time Magazine's Person of the Century.


# Personal Life

Einstein married Mileva Marić in 1903, and they had two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard. The couple divorced in 1919, and Einstein married Elsa Löwenthal in 1919.


# Later Life and Death

Einstein passed away on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. His brain was preserved and studied to understand the neural basis of his intelligence.


# Conclusion

Albert Einstein's work has had a profound impact on our understanding of the universe. His theory of relativity has been extensively tested and confirmed, and it has led to numerous breakthroughs in fields such as astrophysics, cosmology, and particle physics. Einstein's legacy continues to inspire scientists and researchers around the world.
