So, later he went to study at the Milan Polytechnic in Italy and Zurich University, Switzerland.
He joined as a Clerk in a Patent Office.
He married a Serbian, Mileva Maric on 6th January, 1903. They had two sons- Hans and Edward.
In 1905, he published the theory of relativity and became famous.
(Time is related to person and place. Matter can be changed to energy, by E=mc2. He also studied nature of stars.)
He took Swiss citizenship and became Professor of Physics at Zurich.
Studies on Photoelectric effect bought him the Nobel Prize in 1921.
Later he proved the quantum theory of Max Planck.
He also came to be called Father of Atom Bomb, which pained him. So he became a strong advocate of world peace and love.
His later works were very complex and was not touched by scientists for years.
His second wife was Elsa.
