Some key facts about Einstein include: - He was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879 to Jewish parents and immigrated to Switzerland and later the United States due to rising Nazi ideology. - His revolutionary theories of special and general relativity challenged existing ideas about space, time, mass, and energy. This led to his famous equation E=mc2. - He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. - Einstein had a vast influence on science and became one
