Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was a German-born 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. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula
, 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 effec t", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. Einstein lived and taught in a variety of European cities but, in 1933 while visiting in the United States, Hitler came to power in Germany, prompting him to remain and eventually become an American citizen. He was married twice and had three children with his first wife.
