Albert Einstein's Childhood and Personal Life
Albert Einstein was the son of the couple Hermann Einstein and Pauline. Einstein was born in Ulm, Kingdom of Württemberg, German Empire on March 14, 1879. The einstein family included a family of Jewish descent. Einstein's father worked as a peddler of bird cots and then turned to become an electrochemist. The Einstein family is very consistent with their children's education, especially in science and music.
Einstein attended a Catholic school and at his mother's wish he was given lessons in playing music. At the age of 5, Einstein's father showed Einstein a pocket compass object and Einstein saw that something in this empty space reacted to the needle in the compass, he explained that the experience was one of the most enjoyable things in his life and from there Albert Einstein's introduction to science continues to improve.
Einstein had a quiet nature and did not like to play with his friends. Apart from going to school and studying science, Einstein's only activities were playing music with his mother playing Mozart and Bethoveen.
Albert Einstein experienced difficulties when following subjects at school, especially in the fields of arithmetic and natural sciences. Albert Einstein was considered a retarded student in his school. This is due to his introverted and shy personality, but after examining his brain when he died, this is due to the unusual structure of his brain like that of people in general. Einstein had a tendency to think in his own way while school lessons told students to think in the way of other people, namely the teacher.
Albert Einstein wanted to enter the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich), but he failed the test. The following year he was sent by his family to Aarau, Switzerland, to finish high school, where he received his diploma in 1896, Einstein is recorded as having enrolled several times at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule.
Einstein fell in love with Mileva and they eventually formed a relationship. They had a daughter named Lieserl who was born in January 1902, but Lieserl Einstein was considered illegitimate at the time because her parents were not married. Finally Einstein and Mileva married on January 6, 1903. Then they were blessed with another child which they named Hans Albert Einstein who was born on May 14, 1904.

Albert Einstein's Adulthood, Work and Work
After graduating from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich), Einstein decided to seek work related to teaching or research at his alma mater but was always turned down due to Einstein's rushing nature.
Later, the father of a classmate helped Einstein by promoting him to work at the Swiss Patent Office as an assistant technical examiner in 1902. Einstein was tasked with assessing the inventor's patent applications for devices that required knowledge of physics. Sometimes, Einstein improved the design and also evaluated the practicality of the work of prospective patent owners.
In 1904, Einstein's position at the Swiss Patent Office became permanent. In 1905, Einstein received his doctorate from the University of Zurich after submitting his thesis "Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen" (On a new determination of molecular dimensions).
Brownian Theory and Theory of Relativity
In 1905, Einstein wrote several articles or theses which became the basis of modern physics. The thesis includes: the theory of Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect and special relativity.
His thesis entitled "On the Motion-Required by the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Heat-of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid" includes research on Brownian motion.
At that time using the kinetic theory of fluids was controversial, decades after it was first observed, providing empirical evidence (on the basis of observation and experimentation) of the reality of atoms. And he also lent faith in statistical mechanics which was also controversial at the time.
Meanwhile, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity explains that if an object with mass m is given the second power of the speed of light, it will produce so much energy. In other words, 1 gram of mass can produce energy to supply 2700000 watts of electricity for a full year.
Einstein wrote about the Special Theory of Relativity with the formula E=mc². Where E is the potential energy generated. M is the mass of an object and C is the speed of light in a vacuum (c>>300 thousand kilometers per second).
When Einstein was 15 years old, his family's economic situation suffered a setback because his father's electronics business went bankrupt. This made Einstein and his family move to Pavia, Milan-Italy. Einstein stayed behind to finish school, and finished one semester before being reunited with his family in Pavia.
When Einstein was 17 years old, Einstein decided to give up citizenship and chose not to have citizenship because he was disappointed with the anti-Jewish German government at that time.
While studying at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich), Albert Einstein met a woman mathematician named Mileva Maric.

Albert Einstein Died
On April 17, 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm that had previously been surgically removed by Dr Rudolph Nissen in 1948.
On April 18, 1955 at Princeton Hospital, Einstein died. During the autopsy, Princeton Hospital pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's brain for preservation without the permission of the Einstein family in the hope that future neuroscientists would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent. Einstein remains cremated and his ashes scattered in an undisclosed location.
