The related link Wikipedia article lists some. Probably his most famous are his theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity. He laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics and other modern physics concepts.Special Relativity, General Relativity and the beginnings of Quantum Mechanics.
The theory of relativity is actually a conglomerate of two theories which Einstein theorized at different times. Special relativity was published in 1905 and changed the scientific world until some of the ideas could not hold up to scrutiny. It was then that Einstein published the theory of general relativity in 1916.
Einstein wasn't really an inventor he was a theoretical physicist. Some of his greatest discoveries were general relativity, the quantisation of the photon and the mass energy equivalence equation (E=MC^2).
As well as the oft repeated E=MC2, Einstein also produced advances in the photoelectric effect (for which he received the Nobel prize), Brownian motion, and in relativity both special and general. He was also quite active in cosmology, and predicted gravitational lensing. (Bending of light as it passes a star). He also had theories on special and general relativity.

No. Why would anyone think so?
Einstein wasn't really an inventor he was a theoretical physicist. Some of his greatest discoveries were general relativity, the quantisation of the photon and the mass energy equivalence equation (E=MC^2).
The scientific Theories of General and Special Relativity were first proposed by Albert Einstein.Special Relativity in 1906 and General Relativity in 1916.
General Relativity - book - was created in 1984.
E=mc^2 Edit : That equation is part of "special relativity" not "general relativity".
As well as the oft repeated E=MC2, Einstein also produced advances in the photoelectric effect (for which he received the Nobel prize), Brownian motion, and in relativity both special and general. He was also quite active in cosmology, and predicted gravitational lensing. (Bending of light as it passes a star). He also had theories on special and general relativity.
General Relativity - book - has 491 pages.
It was first proposed in 1783 by John Mitchell of the Royal Society and later "rediscovered" by Karl Schwarzschild as a possible result of Albert Einsteins theory of general relativity.
