There aren’t many single people who haven’t heard of Albert Einstein. He is a well-known German physicist who was born on March 14, 1879. German must have been fortunate to obtain this legend who has made significant contributions to modern physics, and the entire world must be grateful for him. He is often regarded as the “Father of Modern Physics.”
He’s the same guy that came up with the Theory of Relativity (E=mc2). He is also the recipient of numerous honors. In 1921, he was awarded the Novel Prize in Physics for his “theoretical physics, particularly his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” The Theory of Relativity did not get the Novel Prize at the time.
He is one of the best sources of inspiration and motivation for everyone. He has written numerous books that have inspired millions of students. His devotion to science is boundless, and his works are remarkable.
