in 1879, in Ulm, Kingdom of W rttemberg, German Empire. He
completed his Ph.D. from the University of Z rich in 1905 and
published four papers in the scientific journal named Annalen der
Physik. These papers on photoelectric effect, Brownian motion,
special relativity and mass-energy equivalence (E = mc2) were
significant contributors to the foundation of modern physics. In
the next few years, Einstein came to be recognized as a major
scientist.
He developed the general theory of relativity between 1907 and
1915. It was published in 1915. In 1916, Einstein published

English translation was published in 1920. In 1921, Einstein was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical
Physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the
photoelectric effect." He published numerous scientific and
non-scientific works.
Einstein died on 18 April 1955, aged seventy-six, in Princeton, New
Jersey.
