This unrivalled modern physicist and humanist is justly famous: an Albert Einstein quote on a wide variety of issues is often heard.
Born in Germany in 1879 of Jewish heritage, his family moved to Italy
when he was a small boy and later to Switzerland when he was 10. Albert
was not considered to be enormously intelligent as a child; it was not
until he was a young adult that his genius began to become apparent. He
took Swiss citizenship and ultimately obtained his doctor's degree
there in 1905 when he was 26.
He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933
when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated
to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at
Princeton*. He accepted United States citizenship in 1940 and retired
in 1945.
Einstein's special and general theories of relativity are still
regarded as the most satisfactory model of the large-scale universe
that we have; he radically transformed our understanding of
the universe, and was a major contributor to quantum theory. As an
ardent humanist, he took an active and outspoken stance on significant
political and social issues and was an active leader of the
international anti-war movement and supported conscientious objection.
As a committed Jew, he advocated a distinctive moral role for the
Jewish people.
He married twice, and had three children with his first wife.
Einstein died in 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey.
