Albert Einstein is perhaps the world's best known scientist for the development of the Theory of Relativity that revolutionized the science known until the twentieth century.
In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanations about the photoelectric effect and important was also the discovery of the Brownian movement, sponsored by Robert Brown in 1820 but had remained unexplained until then.
