Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, the father of modern physics, is not only a great scientific figure of the 20^th century but is one of the biggest theorists and intellectuals of all time. Einstein was born on the 14^th of March 1879 in the state Ulm of the German empire, but within a year of his birth his family moved to Munich. As a child he had problems in speech and learning but as he grew he proved to be a mastermind at mathematics and physics.

He was a theoretical scientist and his work consists of theories and ideas rather then practical work. He is well known for his theory of relativity and for explaining the perihelion advance of Mercury.

His work further includes: Explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, the photon theory , wave-particle duality theory, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, the semi classical version of the Schrödinger equation, and the famous photoelectric law. He also won a Nobel Prize in 1921 for photoelectric effect law
