Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany and grew up in Munich as a non-practicing Jew.

He was born with a very large head that was oddly shaped. Albert took much longer to learn to talk than other children, and his parents feared he might be retarded, but he was born a genius.

His father and Uncle owned an electrical equipment shop. It gave Albert an introduction to the power of science. He was fascinated by the power of electricity.

He was a sensitive boy and never enjoyed school as a child. One day, when he was sick, his father gave him a magnetic compass. The compass convinced him that there had to be "something behind things, something deeply hidden." Even as a small boy Einstein was self-sufficient and thoughtful.

He believed that his development of the equation E=mc2, and his letter to Roosevelt were the cause of the bomb.

In 1902, Einstein worked at a patent office in Bern. He married Mileva Maritsch and had two sons. He earned a doctorate from the University of Zurich in 1905 for a thesis “On a new determination of molecular dimensions.”
