In 1915, Einstein published his theory of general relativity, which extended his previous work on special relativity and explained gravity as a curvature of space-time caused by the presence of mass and energy. Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his work on theoretical physics, particularly his discovery of the law of the photoelect...
