All about Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born physicist who transformed our understanding of space, time and energy. His theory of relativity showed that space and time are linked and that they can be affected by gravity and speed.
Einstein's famous equation E = mc² shows that mass and energy are equivalent. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect, which helped lay the foundations of quantum theory.

Frequently asked questions about Albert Einstein
What does E = mc² mean?
Energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, showing that a small amount of mass can release a huge amount of energy.
Why did Einstein win the Nobel Prize?
It was for his explanation of the photoelectric effect, not for relativity.
Did Einstein do well at school?
Many stories say he did poorly at school, but this is a myth. He was a strong student in maths and physics.
