E=mc2
Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist.
He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."
Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation.

His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary
action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical
mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of
the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities,
the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with
low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon
theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the
conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.
Works by Albert Einstein include more than fifty scientific papers and also non-scientific books. In 1999 Einstein was named Time magazine's "Person of the Century", and a poll of prominent physicists named him the greatest physicist of all time. In popular culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.
