Wikimedia CommonsTIME magazine's Person Of The Century, Albert Einstein changed the world immeasurably.
He revolutionized physics by developing the theory of relativity and devising the mass-energy equivalence formula E=mc2. He helped make atomic weapons a reality, and then helped lead the charge against their usage.
