My Name Will Become Synonymous with a High IQ

When I was a small boy, it took me a while before I started talking. My mom’s been making fun of me because of it to this day, saying that I was too busy thinking for a few years and had no time to talk. Even today, I can lose myself in scientific research on mathematics, physics, and geometry—no words necessary.

Do you know which known personality said that time isn’t constant but inconstant, and therefore relative?

Do you know which scientist made a discovery which changed our understanding of the universe?

Do you know which famous man said that it was the compass that first made him interested in science?

I’m Albert Einstein!

Einstein, born in Germany, is considered to be the greatest scientist of all time. He was able to find the answers to such seemingly basic questions as what space, time, and matter are. His theory of relativity changed our view of how the universe functions. He also made significant contributions to

the development of thermodynamics and our knowledge of light. In 1922, a Nobel prize was awarded to him for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
