  1. Albert Einstein Tiffany Khioukhom

  2. I was born March 14th, 1879. • I was a German-born theoretical physicist, I developed the general theory of relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. • Ioften regarded as the father of modern physics.

  3. The first time I came to the United States was April 2nd, 1921. • I’m from Ulm, Kingdom of Wurttemberg, German Empire. • I went to New York City to deliver several lectures. • In 1933, I decided to emigrate to the US due to the rise of Adolf Hitler. I became a citizen in 1940.

  4. In early 1902 Maric (my wife) and I had a daughter, Lieserl. • In 1903, Maric and I got married in January. • In May 1904, I had my first son, Hans. • In July 1910, I had a second son, Eduard. • When I moved to Berlin, while my wife remained in Zurich with our sons, we divorced on February 14, 1919, we lived apart for five years.

  5. Before I became a scientist, I worked as a clerk in a patent office, registering patents.

  6. I am a catholic. I always went to a large Catholic school near my neighborhood. As the only Jew among the 70 students in my class, I took the standard course in catholic religion and ended up enjoying it.

  7. As a child, I had a speech difficulty. When I spoke, I spoke very slowly. • When I was five years old and I was sick in bed, my father showed me something that sparked in my interest in science, it was a compass. • When I was 17 in 1895, I went to Swiss Federal Polytechnical School. I passed math and science and other things except I failed the rest (history, languages, and geography.) • After I divorced Maric, I soon got married to my cousin, Elsa Lowenthal. Then I considered marrying Elsa’s daughter.

  8. On April 17th, 1955, I experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end. During the autopsy, the pathologist of Princeton Hospital, Thomas Harvey, removed my brain for preservation without the permission of my family.

  9. FAMOUS QUOTES! A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seem to be our main problem. All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler. Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
