Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Württemberg, Germany. Six weeks after he was born his family moved to Munich, and then he moved to Italy. He went to a Christian elementary school. His father's business failed, he was an engineer and a salesman, which is why he moved to Italy. Einstein's father showed him a compass at the age of five and he thought that something in space was forcing the needle to move. Instinctively his mother signed him up for a violin, but he soon quit. As Einstein got older he started to build mechanical devices for fun. He continued his education in Aarau, Switzerland. In 1901 Einstein got his diploma from school, also in 1905 he acquired his doctors degree. Einstein and Mileva Marić had a daughter, Lieserl Einstein, born in early 1902. Then his son was born in 1904, and then in 1910 they had another son. Einstein then got divorced, but then remarried to Elsa (Einstein). They had no children so he only has three kids. During World War I, the speeches and writings of Central Powers scientists were available only to Central Powers academics, for national security reasons. Some of Einstein's work did reach the United Kingdom and the United States through the efforts of the Austrian Paul Ehrenfest and physicists in the Netherlands, especially 1902 Nobel Prize-winner Hendrik Lorentz and Willem de Sitter of the Leiden University. After the war ended, Einstein maintained his relationship with the Leiden University, accepting a contract as an Extraordinary Professor; he travelled to Holland regularly to lecture there between 1920 and 1930. In 1922 Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect." Albert Einstein's brain was preserved by scientists for research, because he was a genius. He sadly died on April 18, 1955, and he died in Princeton, New Jersey.

Einstein made a great contribution to the science world in 1939. He created the formula for the atomic bomb, and he did this during World War II. Einstein then wrote a letter to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which stated that the U.S needed to make such a weapon as the atomic bomb. In August 1939, Roosevelt received the Einstein-Szilard letter and authorized secret research into the harnessing of nuclear fission for military purposes. By 1942 the project was named the Manhattan Project, and it was the largest scientific endeavor undertaken up to the time. In late 1945 the U.S had developed nuclear weapons, and they used them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These weapons were very powerful; Hiroshima and Nagasaki had warning that we would drop them unless they surrendered, Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not surrender so we dropped "Little Boy" first on Hiroshima and then a few days later we dropped "Fat Man" on Nagasaki. They killed over 100,000 people from the radiation and the explosion of the bomb. There have been even more deaths from the long term radiation effects are still killing people in the cities that they were dropped in. Einstein thought that we dropped the atomic bombs to fast and thought that we should only let the United Nations have the weapon. That is how Albert Einstein contributed to physics in his lifetime, and how he got the U.S to end World War II.

Albert Einstein is on the Gerstell Academy walls for many reasons. One he helped us stop World War II, and World War II was a humongous thing from 1939-1945. During this time Einstein created a formula and a weapon called the atomic bomb. The bomb was a nuclear weapon and it was the first of its kind, and it was the most powerful and is still one of the most powerful weapons in the world. The atomic bomb also has had some negative effects, but I don't need to get into that right now. Albert Einstein is also on the wall because he strove for the best that he could be. Dr. Smith put him on the wall because Principle #7 is "Work to reach your full potential", and Einstein did that all of the time so it makes students strive to reach their full potential. The final reason that Einstein is on the wall is, because he never gave up in his life. That is why Albert Einstein is on the Gerstell Academy walls.
