Albert Einstein’s

Obituary
Albert Einstein, German-born physicist who
developed the special and general theories of
relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in
1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric
effect. Einstein is generally considered the most
influential physicist of the 20th century.

Einstein’s parents were secular, middle-class

Jews. His father, Hermann Einstein, was
originally a featherbed salesman and later ran an
electrochemical factory with moderate success.
His mother, the former Pauline Koch, ran the
family household. He had one sister, Maja, who
was two years younger than him. In 1903 Einstein
married Milena Maric, a Serbian physics student
whom he had met at school in Zürich. They had BORN
three children: a daughter, named Lieserl, and two March 14, 1879
sons, named Hans and Eduard. After a period of
unrest, Einstein and Maric divorced in 1919. PASSED
Einstein, during his marriage, had begun an affair April 18, 1955
with his cousin Elsa Löwenthal. They were
married in 1919, the same year he divorced RESIDED
Maric. Ulm, Württemberg, Germany
After suffering an abdominal aortic aneurysm
rupture several days before, Albert Einstein died
on April 18, 1955, at age 76.

Notable Contributions in Science

Quantum Theory of Light
Albert Einstein Quantum theory of light proposed that light is composed of small packets of energy
called photons that have wave-like properties. In the energy, he also explained the emission of electrons
from some metals is strike by lightning-this was called the photoelectric effect. This theory later led to
the invention of the tv, the mobile, which gave technologists a vision to return up with a modern-day
screen device (Smartphones, Computer, Laptops).

Manhattan Project
Albert Einstein created the Manhattan Project research supported by the U.S, which lead to the
development of the atom bomb in 1945. However, during the Second World War, this atom bomb was
dropped to Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Einstein was known to be campaigning for a ban on
nuclear weaponry.
