Albert Einstein (German pronunciation (help·info)) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest physicists who ever lived.[1][2] He formulated the special and general theories of relativity. In addition, he made significant contributions to quantum theory and statistical mechanics. While best known for the Theory of Relativity (and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E=mc²), he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "wonderful year" or "miraculous year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics". --Read more at Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia Home | Archive | Updates | History | Links | Sitemap | Biography | PaperMoney Gallery | Portrait Gallery This Website Design and created by: Webmaster Copyright © 2006-2006 ENCYCLOINDIA COLLECTIBLES, Biography |
