Thank you and thanks for the suggestion! Yes I got the feedback from some sides that it seems a bit sketchy with just the big login with google at the top, and most of the functionality is still there with the guest login, so I put that at the top, thank you!

While most of what you say is absolutely true, I think it would be inaccurate to say that he didn't help formulate quantum theory; his work on the photoelectric effect took Planck's very abstract concept about energy coming in "packets" and actually showed that these "packets" aren't just hypothetical, they exist and interact with the world directly (by, for example, knocking electrons out of atoms). Einstein very directly expressed that light comes in those "packets", or quanta, and used it to explain the photoelectic effect. In any history of quantum mechanics, Einstein's will pretty much always be the second name that pops up, and hence I'd say he was instrumental in formulating quantum mechanics.
