A day like today, Albert Einstein He died at the age of 76 in 1955, in Princeton (United States), one of the most recognizable physicists who left a mark on science, and on the recent history of humanity.

From an early age he excelled in mathematics and physics, although he did not have a comfortable childhood due to his family’s constant travels. However, as a teenager he stayed in Munich to finish his studies.

In 1903 he married Mileva Marić, who was his classmate, and with whom he had a son. But love life has not been easy for the physics genius and she has been involved in marriages, infidelities and divorces.

After graduating from the Federal Polytechnic School, he got a job at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern as an examiner. It was in the early years of the last century that he presented his first scientific articles.

In 1908 he obtained a position as a junior professor at the University of Bern. His life was taking an academic direction, but the beginning of the First World War began to mark the distance from his native country.

Despite being known for his theory of relativity, Einstein was not rewarded for this advance in science. It was in 1921 that he received the Nobel Prize in Physics, but for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. The general theory of relativity had already been published, but was not yet scientifically accepted.

Music

It is true that Einstein’s image is related to science, but one of his passions was music. His favorite instrument was the violin, and he even received lessons from the age of six. In adolescence he left classes, but the violin continued to be his companion.

“I always think about music and music fills more dreams during the day. “I can see my life in terms of music and I get a lot of my joy from it,” Einstein said, according to a Univision report. Mozart was the physicist’s favorite composer, and on several occasions he was portrayed using his violin.
