Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born in Germany on March 14th, 1879. When he was a young boy he used to ask lots of questions, fox example,"How does darkness happen?" By the time he was fourteen years old, he had learned maths all by himself. He was a shy person and did not enjoy school very much. He found it hard to get along with the other boys.

From the age of seventeen, Einstein studied in Switzerland. To earn enough money to continue his studies, he worked there first as a teacher, then in a government office. With the pay that he received and saved, he went on with his studies at university, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905. The period between 1905 and 1915 was an important one for Einstein; he began the research and studies which led to his new discoveries in physics.

At the end of the First World War in 1918, Einstein received worldwide praise for his scientific research. He was given the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921, and was invited to give talks in many countries.
