This report chronicles Albert Einstein’s journey from his childhood in Ulm and patent-office years through his groundbreaking 1905 “annus mirabilis” papers—special relativity, photoelectric effect, and Brownian motion—and his formulation of general relativity in 1915. It explores his contributions to quantum theory, his tenure at the Institute for Advanced Study, and his philosophical reflections on science. The report also covers his activism for peace and civil rights, his role in shaping 20th-century physics, and the enduring impact of his ideas on both science and popular culture.
