-1880:The family move to Munich.
-1889:Albert starts his quest for facts and information available about the sciences. He attends the Luitpold-Gymnasium in Munich for the next six years .
-1894: Einstein family move from Munich to Pavia, Italy. Albert is left in Munich to finish his studies but soon decides to follow the family to Italy.
-1895:He is sent to the Swiss town of Aarau to finish high school
-1900:Einstein graduates in 1900 from ETH with a degree in physics.
-1901 February 21:Albert Einstein acquires Swiss citizenship. He completes his first scientific paper on the capillary forces of a straw.
-1902:Einstein and Mileva (his future wife) have a daughter called Lieser. Albert takes a job at the Swiss Patent Office.
-1903 January 6:Einstein marries Mileva.
-1904 May 14:Albert and Mileva's first son, Hans Albert Einstein, was born in Berne, Switzerland.
-1905:His Special Theory of Relativity is born and he applies his theory to mass and energy and formulates the famous equation e=mc2. Einstein has four papers published in the Annalen der Physik, the leading German physics journal. This year known as Einstein's "Wonderful Year".
-1907:Einstein begins applying the laws of gravity to his Special Theory of Relativity.
-1908:Albert Einstein becomes an associate professorship at the University of Bern.
-1909:He resigns from Patent Office and is appointed Associate Professor of theoretical physics at Zurich University.
-1910 July 28:Albert and Mileva's second son, Eduard, was born in Munich. He writes a paper on critical opalescence that described why the sky is blue.
-1911:Einstein predicts bending of light. He is appointed Professor of theoretical physics at the German University of Prague.
-1913:He is appointed Professor of theoretical physics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich and works on his new Theory of Gravity.
-1914:Albert and Mileva separate and live apart. Einstein is appointed Professor at University of Berlin
WW1 begins and Einstein signs anti-war "Manifesto to Europeans".
-1915:Einstein completes the General Theory of Relativity. He joins the "New Fatherland League" a pacifist organization.
-1917:Einstein writes his first paper on cosmology. He is Appointed Director of Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics in Berlin.

A solar eclipse proves Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
-1922:Albert Einstein is awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for 1921.
-1928:Einstein begins pursing his idea of a unified field theory. He becomes ill and enlargement of the heart is diagnosed
Albert Einstein leaves Germany and emigrates to U.S. where he assumes a post at the Institute for Advanced Study.
-1939:WW2 starts and Albert Einstein warns President Roosevelt that Germany might build an atomic bomb. He then recommends nuclear research.
