  3. Short Bio • Age 16, failed exam • Left school • In 1905, Einstein got his PhD • Wrote a paper on the topic now called the special theory of relativity • Einstein’s IQ was 160 • Travelled widely • In a visit to the United States, he was offered a position at Princeton University. • After his arrival, the Nazis took control of Germany and Einstein never returned.

  4. More Info • Einstein renounced his German citizenship in 1896 • Became a Swiss citizen in 1901 • Einstein worked in a patent office in Bern, Switzerland • 1902 through 1909

  6. Einstein’s Theories • Developed a theory based on spacetime continuum • Gravity was an integral part • Light and other electromagnetic signals propagated through gravity at a constant speed - the speed of light

  7. Theory of Relativity • Physics: Special Theory of Relativity • Einstein proved that time and length are not absolute • Special Relativity: E=mc² • stating that two physical quantities, energy and mass, are equivalent. • Physics: General Theory of Relativity • Space and time become more flexible. • Time intervals you measure may vary depending on where and when you are • Curvature of space and time, gravity affects this • Physics: E=MC2
