Quick Facts about
Albert Einstein
• FULL NAME: Albert Einstein
• BORN: March 14, 1879
• DIED: April 18, 1955
BIRTHPLACE: Ulm, Württemberg,
Germany
•Albert Einstein was a German mathematician and physicist . In 1921, he won the Nobel
Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. he immigrated to the
United States after being targeted by the German Nazi Party.
Theory Of Special
Relativity
In 1905, Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity
revolutionized physics.
Speed of Light
01 Light's speed (c) is constant for all
observers.
Time Dilation
02 Time passes slower for moving
objects.
Length Contraction
03 Objects appear shorter when in
motion.
E=mc²
04 Mass and energy equivalence.
Impact
Transformed modern physics, from cosmology to technology
like GPS.
Theory Of General
Relativity
Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity,
proposed in 1905, reshaped our understanding of
the universe.

Gravity Concept Bending Of Light
Unlike Newton's theory, One famous prediction was
which described gravity the bending of light around
as a force, Special massive objects. Einstein
Relativity redefines theorized that gravity
gravity as the warping of would bend the path of
spacetime by mass and light as it passed near
energy. massive celestial bodies.
Nobel Prize
(1921)
Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize
in Physics.
Awarded for explaining the
photoelectric effect, not for
relativity.
He introduced the idea of photons,
particles of light.
Significance: Revolutionized
physics, laid the groundwork for
quantum mechanics.
Legacy And Impact
Einstein's theories, like General and
01
Special Relativity, remain pivotal in
physics.
They influence studies on gravity,
02
cosmology, black holes, and particle
physics.
His equation, E=mc², is foundational in
03
nuclear physics and technology.
Beyond science, Einstein's commitment to
04
social justice is an enduring example.
His legacy inspires curiosity and innovation
