He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics.:274 Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics", in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric...

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge.

When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.
Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them - these are the best guides for man.
Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't play dice

Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one
