Who is Albert Einstein?

Einstein is a German-born physicist who is praised as one of the most brilliant physicists in the world alongside Issac Newton, and Max Planck. He created such things as the photoelectric effect, Einstein-Rosen Bridge, Theory of Relativity, and helped out with Quantum Theory alongside multiple other physicists.

How did Einstein explain the photoelectric effect?

To explain the photoelectric effect, Einstein proposed that light could be described as quanta of energy that behave as if they were particles.

What was his E=mc^2 equation about?

Stated in some of the terms I did before this one, states that E=mc^2 is mass energy equivalence. E = energy, m = mass, and c^2 = the speed of light. This made Albert Einstein most famously known

How was Einstein so smart?

Einstein was so smart because his brain was way different from others. It was obviously shown because the doctor who dissected his brain said it had special features and stuff like that and was way different than normal people. This just shows that his intelligence was just natural.

What was his biggest part in physics/science?

He is obviously most famously known for creating the equation for mass energy E = mc^2. The thing is, he is almost very famously known for creating the Theory of Relativity which has 2 parts. The first one was his Special Theory of Relativity which was published in 1905 talking about the relationship between space and time. His second one was his General Theory of Relativity which was published in 1915-1916 which describes gravitation. His General Theory of Relativity is actually the description of gravitation in modern physics today.

What was his Einstein-Rosen bridge theory with Nathan Rosen?

This was a wormhole theory stating that it's a space-time shortcut to alternate universes and potentially dimensions. It states that through a black hole there might be this wormhole which looks like a bridge. At the end of the bridge, there is a reversed-time white hole so everything from the end is actually going backwards in time so the center part is the dead-end unless you can manipulate time with something. He also stated that the fuel for the wormhole is Exotic Matter which has a very similar equation to mass energy aka E=mc^2. The formula is E=mc^2/square root(1-|v|^2)c^2.
