Highly intelligent and perceptive, Albert Einstein is arguably the most impactful scientist in history. He navigated the realms of abstract concepts from 1905 to 1925, fundamentally altering our understanding of the universe. In this role, he became the standard against which scientific genius is assessed. He gained further renown for his identification of the photoelectric effect, earning the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Einstein formulated both the special and general theories of relativity, challenging and broadening theories presented by Isaac Newton more than 200 years earlier. Beyond relativity, Einstein made significant contributions to Statistical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, optics, and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.
