Albert Einstein; born 14 March 1879 and died 18 April 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist. He produced the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of contemporary physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is also known for its impact on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best recognized by the people for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been called "the world's most famous equation"). Albert earned the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his work on theoretical physics, and particularly for his identification of the law of the photoelectric effect," a crucial step in the unfolding of quantum theory.At the beginning of his career, Einstein reasoned that Newtonian mechanics was no longer sufficient to harmonize the laws of classical mechanics with the ones of the electromagnetic field. This conclusion led him to formulate his special ...
