But, at age 10, Einstein was transferred to the "Luitpold Gymnasium",where he learned Latin, Greek, History, and Geography. Einsteins father wantedhim to attend a university but he could not because he did not have a diplomafrom the Gymnasium. But there was a solution to this problem everyplace the Alps, inZurich. There was The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology which did notrequire a diploma to attend. The one thing it did require was applicant to collapsean entrance exam. But then yet another problem arose most scholars were 18 whenthey entered the institute, and Einstein was only 16.     In Berne, on January 6, 1903 Einstein married Mileva Maric. Thetwowitnesses at the clarified, quiet wedding, were Maurice Solovine and ConardHabicht. After t he wedding, there was a meal to celebrate at a local restaurant.But no honeymoon. After the meal, the newlyweds returned to their new home. Itwas a small flat, about 100 yards away from Beres famous clock tower.

In that same year, he recieved a job at the swisspatent office.     In 1905, ternion of Einsteins 4 famous papers "about a heuristicalperspective about the creation and modulation of light, about the movement of instill liquids mixed objects back up by the molecularkinetical theory of heatand about the electrodynamics of moving objects". In autumn of 1922 Einsteinreceived the Nobel Prize for Physics, for his field on the photoelectric effect.He did not receive the prize for his "theory of relativity" because it wasthought that at the time it did not meet the cri teria of something that a NobelPrize is awarded for. So when the prize was awarded to him, they said it wasawared to him for his work on the photoelectric effect, if his theory ofrelativity is proven false, and if his theory of relativitywas proven correct,the prize was for that.     Einstein died on April 18, 1955. He died of "leakage of blood from a treated aorta". And he refused the surgery that could have saved his life.
