Einstein restructured physicist's ideas of the nature of space and time leading to the theories of Special and General Relativity which underpin cosmology. To date, these key theories have been found to be consistent with all known data.
He also was one of the first thinkers to work within the burgeoning field of quantum mechanics, working on the photo electric effect and the nature of light in the early days of quantum physics.
He actually won his first Nobel Prize for the full analysis of Brownian Motion leading to the proof of the existence of the atom, his second Nobel Prize was for his work on the Photoelectric Effect and his third Nobel Prize was for his work on Relativity.
His most famous theory is Special relativity involving the effects of traveling close to the speed of light. His crowning achievement was General relativity which deals with the curvature of space due to mass distributions (but not with effects of travel close to the speed of light, having been already explained by Special relativity) which fully explained the origins of the gravitational force.
Einstein spent much of his later life trying to reconcile all the known forces in the Universe (known as the Grand Unified Theory or GUT) he was unsuccessful. The unification of Quantum Mechanics and relativity is still a 'hot' topic as this would unify Physics of the very small (quantum mechanics) with the Physics of the very large (relativity) and provide a good start towards a GUT.
His imagionation and gift for physics helped him develop ideas that shook the world!

∙ 11y agoAlbert Einstein was important because of his groundbreaking work in physics, particularly his theory of relativity. His discoveries transformed our understanding of the universe and laid the foundation for modern physics. He also made significant contributions to the development of the atomic bomb and the field of quantum mechanics.
Albert Einstein's door was red. There is a reason for this. Einstein would have so many things going on in his head that he would forget where his house is. So they painted his door red. That is what color his door is.
No the sons of Albert Einstein are: Hans Albert Einstein and Eduard. They also had a daughter named Lieserl (Her real name is unknown but love letters to Einstein's wife Maric from Einstein call her Lieserl)
No, Catherine Boyd was not Albert Einstein's niece. Einstein had no children, so he did not have any nieces or nephews from his own siblings.
Yes, Albert Einstein had a younger brother named Maja Einstein.
Albert Einstein had two sons. Their names were Hans Albert Einstein and Eduard "Tete" Einstein.
Einstein is 'so important' because he created the theory of relativity.
albert einstein's discoveries are important because it helped understaing things better
albert einstein was so influential in science by a spiteball
Albert Einstein did not make the nuclear bomb. Oppenheimer did.
Albert Einstein was born in Germany, so, Europe.
albert einstein got smart by studying
Lady GagaI would say Lady Gaga but Albert Einstein is much more important.
albert Einstein is so clever because of his brain
yes
Einstein was an alien
No. Albert Einstein was a very important theoretical physicist, not a chemist and certainly not the father of chemistry.
