Albert Einstein was a German physicist who lived between 1879-1955. He is probably the most well-known scientist in recent history.

Have you heard of Einstein's famous theory? It is called the theory of relativity.

Einstein introduced many amazing and unbelievable ideas which changed the entire field of physics. He made predictions about the properties of light, energy, and matter, and nearly all were proven true years later.

Albert Einstein was a German physicist who lived between 1879-1955. Probably the most well-known scientist of the twentieth century, Einstein came up with many original theories and invented modern physics.

He is most famous for his theory of relativity, which makes bold statements about the nature of light and also shows the relationship between mass and energy. Einstein's accurate predictions on the link between gravity with space and time also made him a celebrity.

Albert Einstein was a German physicist who lived between 1879-1955. His special and general theories of relativity, theory of Brownian motion, work in quantum physics, statistical mechanics, and on the photoelectric effect, make him the most well-known scientist of the twentieth century.

In 1905, Einstein presented his special theory of relativity which made bold statements about the nature of light and the equivalency of matter and energy. Later, in 1916, he presented predictions on the link between gravity and space and time, which were verified three years later. Einstein also studied the properties of elementary particles and warned of the dangers of nuclear war.
