Mileva Maric

Elsa Einstein

Mileva Marić was Albert Einstein's fellow student at the Zurich Polytechnic, and later

became his first wife.

Elsa Einstein was a German cousin and the second wife of Albert Einstein. Elsa had the

surname of Einstein at birth, lost it when she took the name of her first husband Max Löwenthal,

and regained it in 1919 when she married her cousin Albert.

Love of musicAs a keen and talented violinist, music was one of Einstein’s life-long passions.

His musical tastes, however, were distinctly conservative, as Brian Foster explains

In one of Albert Einstein’s revolutionary scientific papers published in 1905, E=mc2 was introduced; where E is energy, m is mass, and c is

the speed of light in a vacuum. Since then, E=mc2 has become one of the most

famous equations in the world.

ATOMIC BOMBIn 1905, as part of his

Special Theory of Relativity, he made the intriguing point that

a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 was awarded to Albert Einstein "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".

The death of Albert Einstein came on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New

Jersey. After a long illness, he died peacefully in his sleep. The cause of death is Abdominal aortic

aneurysm. Upon his request in his will, there

was no funeral, no grave, and no marker. His brain was donated to science

and his body was cremated and his ashes

were spread over a near-by river.
