This German born physicist is considered one of the world"s greatest thinkers in history. Not only did he shape the way people think of time, space, matter, energy, and gravity but he also was a supporter of Zionism and peaceful living.

His fifth paper was his general theory of relativity. In which he proposed that gravity is not a force, a previously accepted theory but it"s a curved field in the space-time continuum created in the presence of mass.

In 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Prize for physics for the confirmation of his general theory of relativity although the other papers where still considered controversial. In 1933 he moved to the U.S.A where he became a citizen in 1940. Einstein died in Princeton, NJ, on April 18, 1955. But the knowledge he passed still caries through tomorrow.
