Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

 

It is the most important scientist of the twentieth century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 thanks to his explanation of the photoelectric effect.

 

He was the creator of the Theory of Relativity (1905) in which examines the behavior of objects, which are in uniform motion or remain at rest.

 

Subsequently announced his general theory of relativity (1915) in formulating the concept of gravity, in which the bodies are diverted when passing near a massive object. This theory was proven in 1919 by Arthur Eddigton viewing an eclipse.
