My religion consists of a humble admiration
of the
illimitable superior spirit
who reveals itself in
the slight details
we are able to perceive
with our frail and feeble mind.
Albert Einstein
(14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955)
was a German-born theoretical physicist
who developed the general theory of relativity, effecting a revolution in physics.
For this achievement,
Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics
and the most influential physicist of the 20th century.
While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2
(which has been dubbed “the world’s most famous equation”),
he 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“.
The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
