     Albert Einstein was born in Germany in the year of 1879 (History). History explains that Einstein is mostly known for his exceptional theory of relativity and the Nobel Prize for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. Additionally, it states that he explained the photoelectric effect by using Max Planck’s quantum theory applied to light. In other words, when struck by light, electrically charged particles will discharge from a material.  According to Bio, Einstein’s theory of relativity states that “the laws of physics are the same even for objects moving in different inertial frames...and that the speed of light is a constant in all inertial frames.”  In other words, his theory of relativity explains that both gravity and motion can affect time and space (History).  Another breakthrough Einstein fathered was the proof of existence of atoms (History). History noted that he obtained this evidence by experimenting with Brownian motion; microparticles were suspended in water.

     Einstein received many awards and memberships (other than his Nobel Prize) for his brilliant work in the scientific field.  Nobelprize.org claims that he was granted membership in all of the top academies in the world.  Additionally, awards that he received include the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London (1925) and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute (1935).  Furthermore, Einstein was so revered that he was asked to be President of the country of Israel by Israel's premier.  Although he declined, that is an honorable proposition (Nobelprize.org).
