Albert Einstein 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist[5] who developed
the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum
mechanics).[3][6]:274 His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.
[7][8] He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2,
which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation".[9] He received the 1921 Nobel Prize
in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the
law of the photoelectric effect",[10] a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.

<p class="tribute-info-p p2">
Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough
to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led
him to develop his special theory of relativity during his time at the Swiss Patent Office in
Bern (1902–1909), Switzerland. However, he realized that the principle of relativity could also
be extended to gravitational fields, and he published a paper on general relativity in 1916 with
his theory of gravitation. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum
theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also
investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.
In 1917, he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe.[11][12]

Timeline of Einstein's life
</h3>
<ul>
<li><span class="span-year">1879</span> - He was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1880</span> - The family moved to Munich, where Einstein's father and his uncle Jakob founded
Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a company that manufactured electrical equipment based
on direct current.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1894</span> - In search of business, the Einstein family moved to Italy, first to Milan and a few months
later to Pavia.At the end of December 1894, he travelled to Italy to join his family in Pavia,
convincing the school to let him go by using a doctor's note.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1895</span> - took the entrance examinations for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zürich.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1896</span> - he passed the Swiss Matura with mostly good grades, including a top grade of 6 in physics and
mathematical subjects, on a scale of 1–6.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1900</span> - Einstein passed the exams in Maths and Physics and was awarded the Federal Polytechnic
teaching diploma.Einstein's paper "Folgerungen aus den Capillaritätserscheinungen" ("Conclusions
from the Capillarity Phenomena") was published in the journal Annalen der Physik.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1901</span> - He acquired Swiss citizenship in February 1901, but for medical reasons was not conscripted
</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1902</span> - Einstein started a small discussion group.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1903</span> - Einstein and Marić married. his position at the Swiss Patent Office became permanent,
although he was passed over for promotion until he "fully mastered machine technology".</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1908</span> - he was recognized as a leading scientist and was appointed lecturer at the University of
Bern.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1909</span> - Einstein was appointed associate professor</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1911</span> - Einstein became a full professor at the German Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1912</span> - he returned to his alma mater in Zürich.he was professor of theoretical physics at the ETH
Zurich, where he taught analytical mechanics and thermodynamics.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1913</span> - he was voted for membership in the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1914</span> - The couple moved to Berlin.He joined the academy and thus the Berlin University</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1916</span> - Einstein was elected president of the German Physical Society</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1917</span> - The institute was established on 1 October 1917, with Einstein as its director.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1919</span> - They divorced on 14 February 1919, having lived apart for five years.Einstein married Elsa
Löwenthal.the leading British newspaper The Times printed a banner headline that read: "Revolution
in Science – New Theory of the Universe – Newtonian Ideas Overthrown".</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1920</span> - he became a Foreign Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1921</span> - Einstein was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS).He went on to deliver
several lectures at Columbia University and Princeton University, and in Washington he accompanied
representatives of the National Academy of Science on a visit to the White House.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1922</span> - he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and
especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".his travels took him to Asia
and later to Palestine, as part of a six-month excursion and speaking tour, as he visited Singapore,
Ceylon and Japan, where he gave a series of lectures to thousands of Japanese.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1923</span> - In his own travel diaries from his 1922-23 visit to Asia, he expresses some views on the
Chinese, Japanese and Indian people, which have been described as xenophobic and racist judgments
</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1925</span> - He also received the Copley Medal from the Royal Society</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1930</span> - Einstein visited America for the second time, originally intended as a two-month working
visit as a research fellow at the California Institute of Technology.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1932</span> - Einstein was a member of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation of the
League of Nations in Geneva (with a few months of interruption in 1923–1924),[80] a body created to
promote international exchange between scientists, researchers, teachers, artists and intellectuals.
</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1933</span> - Einstein discovered that the new German government had passed laws barring Jews from holding
any official positions, including teaching at universities.In October 1933 Einstein returned to the
US and took up a position at the Institute for Advanced Study,[99][102] noted for having become a
refuge for scientists fleeing Nazi Germany.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1935</span> - he arrived at the decision to remain permanently in the United States and apply for
citizenship.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1939</span> - Einstein and Szilárd, along with other refugees such as Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner,
"regarded it as their responsibility to alert Americans to the possibility that German scientists
might win the race to build an atomic bomb, and to warn that Hitler would be more than willing to
resort to such a weapon.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1940</span> - Einstein became an American citizen</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1946</span> - Einstein visited Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, a historically black college, where he
was awarded an honorary degree.</li>
<li><span class="span-year">1955</span> - Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm,
which had previously been reinforced surgically by Rudolph Nissen</li>
