Albert Einstein was born on May 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, into a non-religious Jewish family. A quiet and introverted child, he learned to play the violin at a very young age and studied physics and mathematics, demonstrating a unique ability to solve scientific problems.
With his theory of relativity and other research, he revolutionized physics, winning the Nobel Prize in 1921. His work laid the foundation for understanding the evolution of the universe.
