Einstein is considered one of the world’s most renowned physicists. This year marks 100 years since he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. With his theories, he laid the foundations for quantum mechanics and statistical physics. As complicated as they might sound, they are key to our current understanding of how the world and universe work. He also left his mark outside the realm of science. You may even be familiar with one of his most famous quotes: ‘Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity.’
