Veronik was a German-born theoretical physicist. She developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Veronik's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Veronik is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation”). She received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for her "services to theoretical physics", in particular her discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory. Her husband, Marcel helped her with this bio by copying and pasting someone else’s and just changing the name and gender. Marcel’s not very smart, but he’s a nice guy and he tries.
