Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who is best known for developing the theory of relativity, which revolutionized the understanding of space, time, and gravity. Born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, Einstein's work laid the foundation for modern physics and has had a profound impact on various scientific fields. His famous equation, E=mc², established the equivalence of mass and energy and contributed to the development of nuclear energy. Einstein's contributions to science earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, and he became a prominent figure in advocating for civil rights and pacifism throughout his later years, ultimately settling in the United States during World War II.

Stephen Hawking was a renowned British theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, celebrated for his work on black holes and the nature of the universe. Born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England, Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease at the age of 21, which gradually paralyzed him but did not hinder his intellectual pursuits. His groundbreaking book, 'A Brief History of Time,' published in 1988, made complex scientific concepts accessible to the general public and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Hawking's contributions to theoretical physics, particularly his theories on Hawking radiation and the Big Bang, have had a lasting impact on the field, making him one of the most influential scientists of his time.
