Albert Einstein - the Hidden Genius

Albert Einstein is a famous name in the world of physics today. However, this was not always the case. In fact, he failed many times before he became famous for his brains.

Einstein was born in 1879 in Ulm, Germany. Compared to other children, he learnt things very slowly. He could not speak at the age of 4 or read until he was 7. When he eventually spoke, he was very slow and his parents were worried that he was just not as smart as other children his age. Of course, we now know that they didn’t have anything to worry about!

At the age of five, his father showed him a compass. He was amazed by how the needle always pointed north and guessed that there was a special ‘pull’ that people could not see. After this, he had a huge interest in science. Although he did well in science and mathematics, throughout school he was an ‘average’ student. In fact, he even failed his first exam to get into university, because of his bad grades in history, languages and geography.

Despite all this, Einstein went on to become one of the most important men in physics. He won many awards for his research, including the most impressive of them all, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.
