Albert Einstein, born on 14th March 1879, Ulm, Kingdom of W rttemberg, German Empire, was a theoretical physicist, who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics, alongside quantum mechanics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known by the general public for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2, "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, particularly for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory.
