What is contribution of Einstein?
Albert Einstein is famous because he "invented" the formula E=mc2, he explained the photoelectric effect and because of his theory about general relativity. But some people think that Einstein didn't invent anything. They think he stole these formulas from other scientist. Some authors believe that Marcel Grossman or Mileva Einstein (his wife. She is a mathematician) invented the E=mc2 formula and Einstein stole their idea. Some believe that Einstein stole ideas from Laurent Schwartz. This is maybe true because Einstein was bad at school. In fact, he almost didn't pass his year. If he was so bad at school, how could he invent all these formulas?
