Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14th, 1879. Son of a industrial Jew, in 1880 he moved with his family to the city of Munich.
At six years old, he began to study the violin, but soon distinguished himself in mathematics, physics and philosophy. After high school in Ulm, he entered the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich, Switzerland, where he completed his degree in physics.

In 1901 he wrote his first scientific article "The Investigation of the State of Ether in the Magnetic Field". In February of the same year, he received Swiss citizenship. He accepted a position in the patent office in Bern. On January 6, 1903, he married Mileva Maric, with whom he had three children.
Theory of Relativity ( inicial formulation)
In 1905, Albert Einstein sent four articles to the “Annalen der Physics Magazine” including the “initial formulation ” of his famous “Theory of Relativity”, in which they revealed to the world an entirely new view of the Universe
He proposed a formula for the equivalence between mass and energy the famous equation E = mc², whereby the energy (E) of a quantity of matter, with mass (m), is equal to the product of mass by the square of the speed of light, represented by (c).
In 1909, at the age of 30, he became teacher of physics at the University of Zurich and the following year he was teaching at the University of Prague.
In 1912 he held the post of Physics at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School. In 1913 he was appointed teacher at the University of Berlin and director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics. Become a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences.

General Relativity Theory
On November 25th, 1915, he took the stage at the Prussian Academy of Sciences and declared that he had completed his exhaustive research in search of a new and deeper understanding of gravity: the Theory of General Relativity
The new view of the interactions between space, time, matter, energy and gravity has been recognized as one of humanity's greatest intellectual achievements.

Nobel Prime in Physics
In 1919, Einstein became famous around the world after his theory was proven in an experiment carried out in a solar eclipse. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.

On November 10th, 1922, during the awarding ceremony for the Nobel Prize in Physics, Einstein was in Japan and couldn't receive him in person. He was represented at the handover ceremony by the German ambassador to Sweden.
Visit to Brazil
Albert Einstein began traveling around the world to expose his physical theories and also to debate problems such as racism and world peace. On May 4th, 1925, he arrived in Rio de Janeiro, then capital of Brazil, being sent by President Artur Bernardes.
Among other commitments, he visited the Botanical Gardens, the National Observatory, the National Museum and the Oswaldo Cruz Institute.
