His theory of relativity changed our understanding of the universe, and his ingenious scientific achievements paved the way for a new era in physics. In this biography, we look at the key moments of his life, his scientific discoveries, the impact on world science and social activity.

Albert was born in Ulm, Germany to an educated Jewish family. His childhood was marked by curiosity and intelligence. He showed his penchant for scientific research from an early age, and this helped him subsequently become a prominent physicist.

In 1905 he published an article that changed the scientific world - the theory of relativity. In this work, he presented his famous equations describing the relation of time, space and energy. Relativity revolutionized physics and became the basis for many subsequent studies and discoveries.

For his work, Albert was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for explaining the photoelectric effect. His name has become synonymous with genius and scientific achievements. He taught at universities in Europe and the United States, collaborated with the best scientists of his time, and continued to make outstanding discoveries.

In addition to his scientific merits, Einstein was an active supporter of peace and social justice. During World War II, he signed a letter to Albert Einstein and Franklin Roosevelt recommending the development of nuclear weapons, and he subsequently regretted his participation in the process.

He also opposed the nuclear race and was an active member of the world movement for peace and disarmament. His voice carried weight in world politics and security issues.
