1 Albert Einstein

2 He was born in Ulm in Württemberg, Germany on 18th March 1879. When he was 3 years old, he got a sister and began to speak. Some people think that Albert Einstein was very bad at school, because he got only mark 6 in his school reports. But this is nonsense! He went to school in Switzerland and there the 6 is the best mark.

4 He published the Theory of Special Relativity in 1905. It states that both distance measurements and time measurements are altered near the speed of light. This means that as you get closer to the speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, lengths appear to shrink, and clocks tick more slowly.

6 In 1917, Einstein became very sick with an illness that almost killed him. It was his cousin Elsa Lowenthal who nursed him back to health. After this turn of events, Einstein divorced Mileva, and married Elsa on June 2, 1919.

8 Just before the start of World War I, he moved back to Germany, and became director of a school there. He lived in Berlin until the Nazi government came to power. The Nazis hated people who were Jewish or who came from Jewish families. They accused Einstein of helping to create "Jewish physics," and German physicists tried to prove that his theories were wrong.
