Albert Einstein
(1879–1955) was a German-born
theoretical physicist
who developed the
theory of relativity
, one of the two pillars of
modern physics
(alongside
quantum mechanics
). Although relativity is his most widely remembered achievement, he published
more than 300 scientific papers
(along with over 150 non-scientific works), and the
Nobel Prize in Physics
he received in 1921 was "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the
photoelectric effect
"—a pivotal step in the evolution of
quantum theory
.
