March 14, 1879- April 18, 1955Albert Einstein was educated at the Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich and studied Physics and Mathematics. He later received honorary doctorates from many Universities.
Before Einstein, atoms had never been observed. Einstein proved the existence of atoms by researching and writing a paper on the Brownian movement. Brownian movement shows that a particle suspended in a gas or liquid will "dance" due to repeated collisions with atoms. Einstein even calculated a mathematical expression to represent the particle's motion.
He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.
