Albert Einstein was a Jewish Physicist who founded the special theory of relativity and the matter-energy equation. His father was an engineer in Munich.

He was a free spirit, he always believed that “imagination was more important than knowledge”.

He was a war pacifist.

He was deeply interested in classical music and also started playing the violin at an early age.
