Einstein: Albert

Ehrlich embarked on his search for magic bullets to treat parasitic disease with a vast supply of new chemicals from the German dye industry. In 1909 Ehrlich discovered the first effective cure for syphilis, compound 606 (also called Salvarsan). For his insight and this achievement Ehrlich is known as the father of chemotherapy, see also Dyes.

American physicist Albert Einstein, recipient of the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics, for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.  

For most people asked to name a scientist, Albert Einstein is the first name that comes to mind. Einstein s fife story, including his difficulties with math in high school, his time spent as a patent clerk in the Swiss Patent Office, his development of the theory of relativity, and his influence on the development of the nuclear bomb, is the stuff of legends. Indeed, many a struggling high school science student has sought refuge in the notion that Einstein did not do well in that capacity either. 

Einstein is perhaps best known for his work on relativity, and his simple but elegant equation E = mf, which expresses an equivalence between energy and matter. It is this equation that describes the possibility of the transformation of mass into energy, and the phenomenon that is operational in a nuclear power plant or nuclear bomb. Very little matter can become an inordinate amount of energy, as the speed of light is a constant having an inordinately large value.
