He was a very average student in school but was early interested in mathematics and science.]]> 2020-02-20 16:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448143145 landon_barnes https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448146184 At age 15 he went with his family without a degree to Milan.]]> 2020-02-20 16:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448146184 landon_barnes https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448147761  To make up for missed school time he attended school in Aarau Switzerland from 1895. When he successfully took his A-level and began to study in Zurich. His ambition was to get a degree as a subject teacher in mathematics and physics. He finished his studies July 1900.]]> 2020-02-20 16:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448147761 landon_barnes https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448150857 He moved to Bern and was given work at the patent office. In his spare time he worked in the area of theoretical theories.  In which he created the famous words E = Mc squared. This formula states that matter can be converted to energy.]]> 2020-02-20 16:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448150857 landon_barnes https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448153223 In 1903 he married his college mate Mileva Maric.  One year later their first son Hans Albert was born.

After this theory was proven right in an experiment in 1919 (deflection of light by the sun’s gravitational field) Einstein became famous over night.]]> 2020-02-20 16:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448156227 landon_barnes https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448156869 From 1933 Einstein and his family lived in Princeton, USA. At the "Institute for Advanced Study" he found ideal working conditions. In December 1936 Einstein’s wife Elsa died. In 1939 World War II broke out. Because of his fear that Germany was working on atomic bombs he wrote a letter to Franklin D Roosevelt, the president of the United States of America, to tell him about the possibility of atomic weapons. In 1946 he proposed a world government in which he saw the only way to achieve continuous peace.]]> 2020-02-20 17:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448156869 landon_barnes https://padlet.com/landon_barnes/bj9t3i1twarp/wish/448157404 Einstein spent the last years of his life recursively in Princeton. Until his last breath he worked on a new theory, the unified field theory, which however was not successful. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955. He was 76 years old.
