Albert Einstein:(1879-1955)
Some of Einstein's most famous ideas make up parts of his special theory of relativity and his general theory of relativity. For example, the special theory describes an entity known as space-time. This entity is a combination of the dimension of time and the three dimensions of space—length, width, and height. Thus, space-time is four-dimensional. In the general theory, matter and energy distort (change the shape of) space-time; the distortion is experienced as gravity.
