     Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on the 14 march 1879. Einstein became the most famous scientist of the 20th century. In 1905, while working in a Swiss patent office, he published a paper proposing a ''Special theory of relativity,'' a groundbreaking notion that laid the foundation for much of modern physics theory.
     The theory included his famous equation e=mc2
Einstein's work had  a thoughtful impact on everything from quantum theory to nuclear power and the atom bomb. He continued to developed and improve his early ideas, and in 1915 published what is known as his general theory of relativity.
     By 1920 Einstein was internationally renowned , he won Nobel Prize in 1921, not for relativity but for his 1905 work on the photoelectric effect. Einstein's genius is often compared with that of Sir Isaac Newton. In 2000 time magazine named him the leading figure of the 20th century.
