From Relativity to Eternity: Honoring Albert Einstein on His 2025 Death Anniversary
Along with being a physicist who won the Nobel Prize Albert Einstein was a visionary whose theories drastically changed how we think about the cosmos. Even now scientific research and discovery are still influenced by his contributions especially in the areas of relativity and quantum mechanics.
Major advances in physics and cosmology were made possible by his theories, especially the Theory of Relativity and his contributions to quantum mechanics. The world considers the lasting impact of one of the greatest scientific minds in history on the anniversary of his passing.
Who was Albert Einstein?
Albert Einstein was a brilliant scientist who made a lasting contribution to science, peace and humanity by unlocking the secrets of the universe. He was a humanitarian, a thinker and a representation of intellectual genius in addition to being a physicist. Numerous scientific advances of the 20th century including GPS technology and nuclear energy were made possible by his work.
Qualifications and Academic Background
The German Empire’s Kingdom of Württemberg is where Albert Einstein was born on March 14 1879. His initial schooling was at St. At Munich’s Peter’s Catholic Elementary School he showed a keen interest in science and math.
In Munich he later pursued his secondary education at the Luitpold Gymnasium. But Einstein didn’t finish his education in Germany. At sixteen years old he immigrated to Switzerland in 1895 and made an attempt to enroll in Zurich Swiss Federal Polytechnic School.
Despite demonstrating remarkable aptitude in mathematics and physics he failed the general section of the entrance exam. He subsequently enrolled in the Aarau Cantonal School where he finished his secondary education and earned his diploma in 1896.
Later that year Einstein was accepted into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School (now ETH Zurich) where he studied for four years to become a math and physics teacher. He earned a teaching diploma in 1900.
Einstein received his doctorate from the University of Zurich in 1905. His dissertation (A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions) made a substantial contribution to our knowledge of molecular physics and atomic theory.
In recognition of his profound influence on science Einstein was awarded multiple honorary doctorates in science medicine and philosophy from various universities in North America and Europe during his career.

Cause of Death
At the age of 76 Albert Einstein passed away at Princeton Hospital in New Jersey on April 18 1955. He suffered internal bleeding the day before on April 17 1955 as a result of an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupturing. In 1948 Dr. Rudolph Nissen had previously performed surgery to treat this condition.
Einstein had brought a draft of a speech he was working on for a television appearance commemorating the seventh anniversary of the State of Israel with him when he was admitted to the hospital. He didn’t live to see it through.
With the statement I want to go when I want Einstein to decline surgery. Artificially prolonging life is unappealing. It’s time to leave. I’ve done my part. I’ll do it tastefully.
He kept working until just before he passed away despite his failing health. Early the next morning he died quietly.
His Last Remarks
Albert Einstein’s final words were said in German according to his secretary. It is unknown exactly what was written because the nurse who was caring for him at the time did not understand the language. I am at the mercy of fate and have no control over it is the translated version of the alleged statement.
Einstein’s body was cremated after an autopsy was conducted after his passing. His wishes were honored by having his ashes scattered in an undisclosed location to avoid the establishment of a public memorial site.
Einstein had specifically asked that neither his home nor his office be turned into a memorial. His wish to be remembered for his scientific contributions rather than for personal artifacts was strengthened when this request was granted.
Albert Einstein is still regarded as a major figure in scientific history today. Around the world physicists are still teaching, testing and developing his theories.
