THE MAN WHO CHANGED OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE
Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics, is often considered①one of the smartest men who ever lived. He made numerous② contributions③ to the world, ❶the most wellknown being the general theory④ of relativity⑤ and the famous formula⑥E=mc2. Einstein was not only a genius⑦; he was a courageous⑧and kind figure loved by many people.
This gentle⑨ genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879. When he was 16, he tried to enter university in Switzerland, but failed due to⑩ his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam, despite⑪ obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics. ❷After studying for another year, he managed to pass the exam, entering university in 1896 and graduating in 1900.
After two years of looking for⑫ work as a teacher, Einstein took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent⑬ office. While working there, out of a strong passion⑭ for knowledge, he continued to study, earning a doctorate⑮ in physics in 1905. ❸That same year, which was later recorded as a miracle year in science, he published four extraordinary ⑯ physics papers. Following this, he gradually⑰ became famous⑱ throughout⑲ the world as the new Isaac Newton. After four years, he was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter research fulltime at a university. In 1922, he was awarded⑳ the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
