Albert Einstein was born March 14,1879 in Ulm, Germany.
             He is considered to be one of the greatest theoretical
             physicists of all time. He is best known as the creator of
             the special and general theories of relativity. He
             contributed much to the kinetic theory of matter and the
             theory of specific heats and played a major role in the
             At age ten, Einstein set into a program of self
             education and read as much as he could about science. His
             uncle recognized his mathematical talent and introduced him
             to algebra and geometry. Albert found pleasure in solving
             challenging algebraic and geometric problems. He was not a
             very good student in school. He often skipped class, which
             caused him to fail. In 1895, Albert attempted to skip high
             school by taking an entrance exam to the Swiss Polytechnic
             University, but he failed the arts portion. He then decided
             to go back to high school and he graduated in 1896 at age
             seventeen. Six years later, Einstein fell in love with an
             old classmate, Mileva Maric, and got married.
             In 1905 Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity was
             born. This paper, which had taken him five weeks to write,
             arose from a question which had puzzled him for years: "If
             one were to travel through space with the same velocity as a
             beam of light, how would one describe the beam?" Einstein
             began to think that the laws of physics must remain the same
             for all observers however fast they move to one another.
             Einstein's conclusion to his theory was that mass and energy
             In 1919 Einstein published his general theory of
             relativity. One of the predictions of this theory concerned
             the bending of light rays from a distant star if they passed
             close to the sun on their way to the earth. His prediction
             was tested at the solar eclipse on May 1919. He gained
             world fame in November of that year because his prediction
