Albert Einstein
(1879—1955)
physicist, author of theory of relativity.
"Albert Einstein reshaped our cosmos by supplanting long-treasured concepts of physics with shockingly counterintuitive ideas about the nature of space and time. It is no accident his name has become a synonym for genius. Yet, throughout his life the seeming contradictions of this complex man made him a controversial figure."
