Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and is best known for the mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc². He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Einstein spent the latter part of his career at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where he worked from 1933 until his death in 1955. He is widely regarded as the most influential physicist of the 20th century.
“Many of the world's experts (e.g., Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Robert Oppenheimer) were skeptical that nuclear fission could be achieved in the years immediately prior to it being achieved.”
