Oh,No! Einstein was born in 1879 in Ulm, a city in Germany. As a boy, he was slow to learn to talk, but later in his childhood he showed great curiosity about nature and ability to solve difficult mathematical problems. After he left school, he went to Switzerland, where he graduated from the university with a degree in mathematics. In 1905, Einstein began to publish a series of papers which shook the whole scientific and intellectual world, and for the theories he established in the papers he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Not Always an Einstein Einstein,however,was no Einstein when he was a child. he was slow in learning how to talk.“My parents were so worried,”he recalled,“that they consulted a doctor.” Even when he began using words after age two,he developed a quirk that prompted his nursemaid to dub him the dopey one.“Every sentence he uttered,no matter how routine,“recalled his younger sister,Maja,”he repeated to himself softly,moving his lips.”His slow development was combined with a cheeky rebelliousness toward authority,which led one German schoolmaster to send him packing.Another declared that Einstein would never amount to much. A Merry Science Einstein excelled at math.By the age of 13,“he already had a predilection for solving complicated problems in applied arithmetic,”his sister recalled.An uncle,Jakob Einstein,an engineer,introduced him to the joys of algebra,calling it a “merry science,”and whenever Einstein triumphed,he “was overcome with happiness.” A Proud America At age 15,Einstein left Germany for northern Italy,where his parents relocated their business, and at 16, he wrote his first essay on theoretical physics. Einstein’s discovery of special relativity,after he graduated from the Zurich Polytechnic in 1900 when he was 21,involved an intuition based on intellectual as well as personal experience. A Proud America At age 40,in 1919,Einstein was suddenly world famous.He was also married t
