Albert Einstein has always intrigued me by his knowledge. I find it amazing that someone

can be so incredibly smart. Only after reading this book did I discover the affect of Einstein’s

knowledge. His theorems changed the worlds perspective on science and nature. Many of his

ideas still get public interest to this day. He is responsible for such theories as: the General

Theory, the Quantum Theory, and the Unified Field Theory. Einstein is truly one of the best

scientists the world has ever seen.

Living through both great world wars, Albert Einstein helped start a postwar “revolution

in physics that transformed the character of science.” He first started receiving attention with his

theory of special relativity. This showed that there was no spatial or chronological framework in

the entire universe. He later proved the Newtonian synthesis wrong by showing that time was

relative rather than absolute. Albert Einstein changed the way humans were thinking at the time.

family to Munich in 1880. Munich was a larger town located about one hundred miles from Ulm.

Pauline Einstein, Albert’s mother, was a “tall, strong-minded woman.” His father, Hermann

Einstein was very generous and friendly and was loved by just about everyone. Shortly after

arriving to Munich, Marie, Albert’s sister, who was also known as Maja was born. Hermann had

started an electrical business with his brother Jacob. Jacob, being an electrical engineer, could

relate to young Albert better than his father could. With his great aptitude for math and science,

Albert was drawn to his Uncle Jacob.




Around the age of five, Albert’s parents hired a tutor for him. When he threw a chair at the

tutor, it became obvious that he was not the perfect student. However, his parents did not give
