What are some of the great accomplishments of the greatest science genius of all time? This guy's name is thrown around regularly as a synonym for great intellectual achievement, there has to be something significant and concrete he created or at least contributed to that justifies all the hype he gets. Nobody talks about the Wright brothers as synonymous with genius and they invented the airplane, so Einstein must've been responsible for something even better than the airplane to earn his position atop the pantheon of bigbrains, but I can't think of what is it, can anyone help me out?
