    He published several very important scientific works including the theory of relativity‚ and the famous e=mc2 formula. Albert Einstein worked on his Theory of Relativity. After this theory was proven to be accurate‚ Einstein quickly rose to fame. He received honors and invitations from all over the world.In the year 1921‚ he won the Nobel Price for physics. In his work ‘The Founddation of the General Theory of Relativity’ Einstein took Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation‚ which states “the force

    Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity‚ effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement‚ Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world’s most famous equation")‚[4] he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the

    measure up?" Is there a shot to match -- if not Maxwell‚ then perhaps Lorentz? But Einstein? Don’t go there. Match this: In 1905‚ Einstein is 26‚ a patent examiner‚ working on physics on his own. After hours‚ he creates the Special Theory of Relativity‚ in which he demonstrates that measurements of time and distance vary systematically as anything moves relative to anything else. Which means that Newton was wrong. Space and time are not absolute -- and the relativistic universe we inhabit is not

    problems in physics. Influenced by quantum theory developed by Max Planck in Berlin‚ Einstein explained the photoelectric law that governs the production of electricity from light-sensitive metals. In 1905 Einstein published his special theory of relativity. Einstein argued that the laws of nature are the same for all observers in unaccelerated motion‚ and the speed of light is independent in the motion of its source. Einstein postulated that the time interval between two events was longer for an observer

    Theory of General relativity. The General relativity Theory states that gravitation arises from the curvature of space and time. It also said that the universe was either contracting or expanding. Today the theory is used to describe gravitation in physics. Einstein’s theory was influential to the development of the Big Bang theory because it created the cosmological constant. Alexander Friedmann used Einstein’s theory in order to come up with his own findings. He applied general relativity to cosmology

Einstein is best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (1)‚ this has been dubbed “the worlds most famous equation”(1). He received the Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”(2) That discovery led to establishing the quantum theory within physics. In 1917‚ Einstein applied the general theory of relativity (which
