March 14, 1879.
The celebrated theoretical physicist
who radically enhanced human understanding
of the universe was born in Ulm, Germany.
Einstein spent his childhood
in Italy and Germany.
Studying physics and mathematics,
he was awarded a Ph.D. by the
University of Zurich in 1905.
During that same year, Einstein worked as a patent clerk in Bern. He also published five theoretical papers that would transform modern physics.
Known as Einstein's "miracle year,"
his papers included his general theory of relativity
as well as the equation E=mc².
The papers were almost immediately

They marked the beginning of
one of the most extraordinary
