    Einstein was born on March 14,1879 in Ulm, Germany. When Einstein was young he was considered to be dumb because he could not (or would not) talk until after he was four years old.

    Because he was Jewish, he thought he was going to die during World War II because they were killing Jews. So he moved and never went back to Germany. Einstein came to America in 1933 (12 years after he won the Nobel Prize for Physics).

    In 1905 Einstein published a series of writings giving some of his theories. One of his theories was that there was a lot of energy in atoms. His idea helped scientists create the atomic bomb. Another one of his famous theories was the theory on time. One of his most famous theories was that E=MC2.

    At first, Einstein was only famous and recognized for his acheivements among other scientists. He started to be recognized by the public in 1919 and was given the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

    There have only been a few scientists that have changed the point of view for man. Einstein is one of those few.
