His famous works are heliocentrism , kinematics , dynamics and strength of materials . Albert Einstein (1879 –1955) Germanian Theoretical Physicist He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect . He developed the general and special theory of relativity and theory of Brownian Motion. His famous mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc 2 formed the basis of nuclear energy. Einstein’s field equations explain particle theory and the motion of molecules . Niels Bohr (1885–1962) Danish Physicist He made contributions to atomic structure and quantum mech
