30 Brilliant Quotes from Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was an extremely gifted mathematician and theoretical physicist. His contribution to Physics has been phenomenal, because he made the world change its outlook towards this science. He was put among the most profound thinkers and scientists of the 20th century.

He proposed the theory of general relativity and special relativity, and also contributed to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and cosmology. He won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and “for his services to Theoretical Physics”, which additionally proved him to be one of the most powerful and influential people ever.

In his lifetime, Einstein has changed the world, and his name has become synonymous with genius. In 1999, Time Magazine named him Person of the century. Another proof of his greatness is the fact that in his honor, a unit used in photochemistry, the Einstein, as well as the chemical element Einsteinium were named after him. It is also good to know that after his death, his brain was preserved for research on his intelligence.
