He developed the general theory of relativity with a simple equation\u00a0E = MC squared (E=MC2); one of the two pillars of modern physics. Einstein&#8217;s work on energy and particle theory influenced the philosophy of science and drastically altered man\u2019s view of the universe. This led to the theory of quantum physics mechanics and ultimately, the atomic bomb. Einstein understood the responsibility of this discovery and what it meant in the struggle between life and death especially during times of war.<\/p>\n<div class='tie-fluid-width-video-wrapper
