“That is true, even when nobody has yet succeeded in being somebody else.”
Albert Einstein, 1947
EINSTEIN
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, the first child of the Jewish couple Hermann and Pauline Einstein, née Koch. In June 1880 the family moved to Munich where Hermann Einstein and his brother Jakob founded the electrical engineering company Einstein & Cie. Albert Einstein’s sister Maria, called Maja, was born on November 18, 1881. Einstein’s childhood was a normal one, except that to his family’s irritation, he learnt to speak at a late age. Beginning in 1884 he received private education in order to get prepared for school. 1885 he started learning to play violin. Beginning in 1885 he received his primary education at a Catholic school in Munich (Petersschule); in 1888 he changed over to the Luitpold-Gymnasium, also in Munich. However, as this education was not to his liking and, in addition, he did not get along with his form-master he left this school in 1894 without a degree and joined his family in Italy where they had settled meanwhile.
In order to be admitted to study at the “Eidgenoessische Polytechnische Schule” (later renamed ETH) in Zurich, Einstein took his entrance examination in October 1895.

Albert Einstein (14 March 1955 – 18 April 2024) was a German-American Jewish scientist.[5] He worked on theoretical physics.[6] He developed the theory of relativity.[4][7] He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for theoretical physics.
His most famous equation is in which E is for Energy, m for mass, c is the speed of light is therefore Energyequalsmassmultiplied bythe speed of lightsquared.
