Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist widely regarded as the most important scientist of the 20th century and one of the greatest physicists of all time. He played a leading role in formulating the special and general theories of relativity; moreover, he made significant contributions to quantum theory and statistical mechanics. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "wonderful year") and "for his services to Theoretical Physics."
After British solar eclipse expeditions in 1919 reported confirmation that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the Sun in the amount he had predicted in his theory of relativity, Einstein became world-famous, an unusual achievement for a scientist. The London Times ran the headline on November 7, 1919: "Revolution in science - New theory of the Universe - Newtonian ideas overthrown". In popular culture, his name has become synonymous with great intelligence and genius.

Anyway, its Albert Einstein. Theorised E=MCsquared and Twin Parallel Paradox and indirectly theorised existence of black holes. Also helped development of the Atomic bomb and has actively discouraged use of nuclear weapons after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. One of the greatest minds ever lived.

If you can read - you can't spell and that is for sure, try a Google search. By the way names have capital letters to start so it is Albert Einstein.

Actually he was a scientist - who followed all the evolutions of magnetics to battery to generator....
His entire life was to achieve what he didn't actually know but he watched as it grew....
Blah Blah, Great book Einstein for Beginners
