[[Image:Einstein.jpg|thumb|right|Albert Einstein]]
 
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a theoretical physicist who contributed to the theory of a [[Special Relativity]] and the theory of [[General Relativity]].  He also contributed to the study of [[Photoelectric Effect]], [[Brownian Motion]] and [[Bose-Einstein Statistics]].  He was critical of [[quantum mechanics]] and has proposed the [[EPR-Paradox]] in attempt to point out spooky aspects of the theory.  The last fifteen years of his life were spent in spent unsuccessfully searching for a [[Unified Field Theory]].  Born in Germany, he won the [[Nobel Prize]] for his work on the [[Photoelectric Effect]] in 1921.<ref>http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/</ref>  He immigrated to the United States in the late 1930s where, upon the urging of a colleague in physics, recommended that President Franklin D. Roosevelt develop an [[atomic bomb]] project.<ref>[http://www.dannen.com/ae-fdr.html]</ref>He later regretted this and became a passionate pacifist.  In 1952, he was offered the Presidency of Israel, but he turned it down.
