Einstein is what I usually call a "20-lb brain" type. He, together with Stephen Hawking, have changed radically the nature of science in the last 10 years.

For Einstein, I think we could make that the last 100 years.

Yep. It's amazing that all these years later, we're just now getting the technology to test Einstein's theories. And 80+ years after the fact, we're finding out that he was right all along! Here's an example: The Bose - Einstein Condensate

With all due respect, mentioning Hawking in the same breath with Einstein is sort of like comparing a high school marching band to the London Philharmonic.
