-==Life and work==
-Einstein studied mathematics and physics at Federal Polytechnic school in [[Zurich]] between 1896 and 1900. He worked as an expert at the Federal Office of patents Bern (1902-1908) and published works that have drawn attention scientific world, including the first paper on the theory special relativity in 1905 (''Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper''/''On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies'')).
-Einstein was years was professor of theoretical physics at the Universities of Bern, Zurich and Prague (1908-1910). In 1913 he was elected member of the Academy Prussian Sciences and appointed director of Physics Institute Society "Kaiser Wilhelm" in Berlin, till in 1933. After publishing theory General relativity in the First World War and confirm the predictions of one of them by the expedition Royal Astronomical Society of Sciences in London (1919) became the most famous scientist of his time.
-With the establishment of the National Socialist regime, Einstein resign from the Prussian Academy of Sciences and leave Germany permanently, settling in the Princeton United States. In the last part of his life, Einstein is recognized not only as the highest authority in theoretical physics, but also as a great humanist incorporating exemplary by: action of social and cultural.
-By taking its position on issues of public life spirit freedom, social justice, respect for dignity human being. He died on 1 April 8th 1955 at 76 years. The writings of Einstein's general interest are combined in two volumes: ''Mein Weltbild'' (1931) and ''Out of my Later Years'' (1950). In 1917, Einstein published his first exposure special and general theory of relativity Explained to all.
-==Awards==
-* 1921, Einsten received the Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect [http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/].
-* August 1955, the chemical element 99, ''einsteinium'', was named for him four months after Einstein's death.
