Albert Einstein
German-born theoretical physicist who revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. Einstein's theories of special and general relativity fundamentally changed physics and philosophy. His work on the photoelectric effect contributed to quantum mechanics. Beyond science, Einstein's pacifism, humanitarian concerns, and reflections on religion and philosophy made him a public intellectual icon.
