Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who introduced revolutionary concepts regarding the nature of light-particles, the existence and nature of molecules, and the electrodynamics of moving bodies. In 1934 he left Germany, settling in Princeton, New Jersey and eventually becoming an American citizen. He won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.
