Albert Einstein was a German-born Jewish scientist that came to the United States as a guest professor at Princeton. He stayed in the US after Hitler came to power in his homeland; Hitler was in the process of taking away the professorships of Jews in Germany.
He is best known for discovering the Theory of Relativity (E=MC2). In modern culture his name has become synonymous with Genius.
Take a look at this biography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein

Mostly, a subject of conversation. No one can discredit him with any success, He is respected. A German Jew by Blood line and a man of Science by the gift of God. Interesting reading can be found from Batam Books: Einstein in Berlin by Thomas Levenson. Several recent Articles have been published in Discover Magazine, www.//Discover@discover.com The October and August 2006 issues are still available and are posted on the web. Albert died in his quest for the Theory of Everything but his Great-grandson has continued his work. The Theory of Everything can be down loaded upon request through Yahoo E-mail address: Blueridgemotors@yahoo.com PDF word doc. 2,000 words

Albert Einstein (German pronunciation (help·info)) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist widely known as one of the greatest physicists of all time.[1][2] He formulated the special and general theories of relativity. In addition, he made significant advancements to quantum theory and statistical mechanics. While best known for the Theory of Relativity (and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E=mc2), he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his 1905 (his "wonderful year" or "miraculous year") explanation of the photoelectric effect and "for his services to Theoretical Physics". In popular culture, the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with great intelligence and genius.
Among his many investigations were: capillary action, his special theory of relativity which stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field, his general theory of relativity which extended the principle of relativity to include gravitation, relativistic cosmology, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory, including an explanation of Brownian motion; atomic transition probabilities, the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light, the theory of radiation, including stimulated emission; the construction of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.

A German scientist who was facinated with the essence of light. He discovered that Energy=Mass multiplied by The Speed of Light squared. This equation was later used to discover nuclear technology.
