When he was a child, he had early speech problems and his teachers thought that he wouldn't be a succesful student. However, he excelled at maths and science.
He took his studies in different countries as Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Austria. He met his first wife, Mileva Maric, in College. They married in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons. His second wife was his cousin Elsa Löwenthal.
In 1933, he had to emigrate to the USA because of the rise of power of the Nazi government in Germany. There he colaborated with the USA government and taught in some universities, like Princeton University.
In 1921 he was given the Nobel Prize in Physics.
He dedicated his whole life to Physics research, teaching in different universities and doing other cultural and politic activities.
He died in Princeton in 1955. His brain was removed from his head in order to investigate his intelligence in the future. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered in Princeton Universiy.
Right now, he's just dust in the wind.
