[00:19.65]The Life of Albert Einstein
[00:23.38]Albert Einstein was born on March 14th,
[00:27.98]1879 in Germany.
[00:31.46]As a child, Einstein would hardly ever talk.
[00:36.49]In fact, he was so quiet that his parents
[00:40.29]thought he was not normal.
[00:43.30]He would sit by himself
[00:45.49]and build tall houses of cards.
[00:49.47]He hated playing with guns
[00:52.32]and by the age of 10,
[00:54.53]he was already reading Maths books.

[01:09.44]of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree from
[01:13.22]the University of Zurich for his research
[01:16.82]in the fields of Maths and Physics.
[01:21.47]In 1908, Einstein taught
[01:24.37]at the University of Bern.By that time,
[01:28.49]he was already internationally recognized
[01:31.56]as a leading scientific thinker.
[01:34.71]The following year,
[01:36.46]he became Professor of Physics
