      Albert Einstein

      Albert Einstein was a renowned physicist born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, and he passed away on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. Here are some key points about his life and work:

      Theory of Relativity: Einstein is best known for his theory of relativity, which includes two major components:

      Special Theory of Relativity (1905): This theory introduced the famous equation E=mc², showing the equivalence of mass and energy. It also introduced the concept that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, leading to groundbreaking ideas about space and time.

      General Theory of Relativity (1915): This theory expanded upon the special theory and introduced the concept of gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass. It was a major revolution in our understanding of gravity and led to the prediction of phenomena like gravitational lensing and the existence of black holes.

      Photoelectric Effect: In 1905, the same year he published the special theory of relativity, Einstein also explained the photoelectric effect, which showed that light behaves as both waves and particles (photons). This work earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

      Early Life: Einstein had a relatively unremarkable childhood, but he showed an early aptitude for mathematics and physics. He attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich, where he graduated in 1900.

      Emigration to the United States: Einstein emigrated to the United States in 1933, escaping the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany. He accepted a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where he spent the remainder of his career.

      Humanitarian and Political Involvement: Einstein was a pacifist and advocate for civil rights. He was deeply concerned about the use of atomic energy for destructive purposes and signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 urging the U.S. to develop
