Life and career
Albert Einstein, a synonym for genius, was a theoretical physicist of German birth who developed the theory of relativity, a cornerstone of modern physics.
Einstein is also known for his contributions to the philosophy of science. Einstein is most well-known to the general public for his formula E=mc^2, which has been referred to as "the world's most famous equation."
Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics in "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the lag of the photoelectric effect," which was a crucial step in the development of quantum theory.
Einstein's father was a salesman who later owned an electrochemical factory. Born in the German Empire, Einstein moved to Switzerland in and renounced his German citizenship in He received his teaching diploma in physics and mathematics from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zürich in , and became a Swiss citizen the following year.
