2. Albert Einstein: Theory of Relativity

Albert Einstein is synonymous with genius. His Theory of Relativity redefined our understanding of space, time, and energy. The famous equation, E=mc2E = mc^2E=mc2, demonstrated the relationship between mass and energy, a cornerstone of modern physics. Key Invention/Discovery: Photoelectric Effect: Einstein’s explanation of this phenomenon earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 and was pivotal in the development of quantum mechanics. Impact: His work has applications in GPS technology, nuclear energy, and cosmology.
