Measurements for time and space do change. They depend on how fast we are moving and how fast the object is

moving.

Albert published the General Theory of Relativity.

He thought that gravity pulled on objects, and it also pulled on light.

1916

1919

An eclipse proved Albert’s General Theory of Relativity.

This made him famous.

In 1919 there was a solar eclipse in May. During a solar

eclipse, the moon passes in front of the sun and blocks its rays.

Even in the middle of the day, it becomes very dark, and the stars

come out in the middle of the day.

Albert won the 1921 Nobel Prize

in physics.

Albert changed the way we view

the universe.

1940

Albert became an American citizen.

Albert liked the freedom and the welcome he found in the United States. Reporters gathered to watch him become a United States citizen.

Character Traits

He was intelligent because he discovered many science

theories.

He was determined because his teachers were hard on him, but he did not

give up.

Quote

“I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very

curious.”

It means that people can come up with big ideas and understand things more just by wondering and trying to

learn more about them.
