Early years. Einstein
was born on March 14, 1897, in Ulm,
Wurtemberg, Germany, the son of Hermann and Paulina Koch Einstein. At five,
when his father showed him a pocket compass, the little boy was deeply
impressed by the mysterious behaviour
of the compass needle, which kept pointing in the same direction no matter
which way the compass was turned. He later said he felt then that “something
deeply hidden had to be behind things.”
After public school in Munich
and in Aarau, Switzerland, Einsten studied Mathematics and physics at the Swiss
polytechnic Institute in Zurich. He was graduated in 1900.
Albert Einstein became
famous for his theory of relativity,
which laid the basis for the release of atomic energy.
