Albert Einstein was born in the Bavarian city of Ulm on March 14, 1879. He was the eldest son of Hermann Einstein andPauline Koch, both Jews whose families came from Swabia. The following year he moved to Munich, where the father was established, along with his brother Jakob, as merchant for engineers of thetime. Little Albert was a quiet and withdrawn child, who had a slow intellectual development.

I, on the contrary, I have had adevelopment so slow that I started to ask myself questions about space and time until I was old. "Einstein's effort placed him immediately among the most eminent of European physicists, but the publicrecognition of the true extent of his theories was slow in coming, the Nobel Prize, which was granted in 1921 it was exclusively "for his work on Brownian motion and its interpretation of thephotoelectric effect." In 1909, he began his university teaching career in Zurich, then going back to Prague and back to Zurich in 1912 to become professor of the Polytechnic, where he had studied. In 1914Berlin became a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. The outbreak of World War I forced him to leave his family, then a vacation in Switzerland and no longer meet him again.
Against the generalfeeling of the academic community in Berlin, Einstein said then openly anti-war attitudes influenced by the pacifist doctrines Roma Rolland. In scientific terms, its activity is centered between 1914and 1916, in the improvement of the general theory of relativity, based on the assumption that gravity is not a force but a field created by the presence of a mass in the space-time continuum.
