Son of free-thinking, cultured Jews, Einstein was unable to speak until he was three and displayed no special promise. Anti-Semitism also hampered his talent when it began to emerge. He became a Swiss citizen in 1901, obtaining a doctorate from the University of Bern in 1905. His research, which culminated in the famous equation E=mc2, was published in the same year. After World War I, Einstein's fame extended beyond the scientific community and in 1921 he was awarded the Nobel prize for physics. During the 1920s he Albert Einstein, German physicist, regarded the rise of the Nazis in Germany with horror, eventually emigrating to the U.S. 1879-1955 where, in 1933, he took up a post at Princeton University. In 1939 his early warnings of German scientific attempts to make an atomic bomb prompted the start of the Manhattan Project. CHRONOLOGY
