Albert Einstein, whose theories laid the groundwork for 20th century technologies ranging from television to the atom bomb, has been chosen as Time magazine's Person of the Century.

"In a century that will be remembered foremost for its science and technology . . . one person clearly stands out as both the greatest mind and paramount icon of our age," the magazine said.It called Einstein the "kindly, absent-minded professor whose wild halo of hair, piercing eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius."

The magazine's Person of the Century issue was on newsstands Monday.

Einstein, born in Germany in 1879, developed the theory of relativity, which rejects the concept of absolute motion and explains why motion, speed and mass appear different depending on the observer's frame of reference.

The theory laid the groundwork for spectacular technological developments and observations in many fields, including gravitation and the study of the cosmos, and nuclear fission, which is the basis for the atom bomb.

Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics.

In 1933, he immigrated to the United States to take a post at Princeton University.

A year later, the property he left behind in Germany was confiscated by the Nazi government because he was Jewish.

Einstein was partly responsible for President Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to pursue making an atom bomb. He wrote a letter to the president in 1939 warning that Germany could be repeating American experiments with uranium and suggesting that those experiments could produce a powerful bomb.

He later said: "If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith."

Einstein died in 1955.

Time's runners-up for Person of the Century were President Roosevelt, who the magazine said represented the triumph of democracy and freedom over fascism and communism; and Mahatma Gandhi, who it picked to symbolize the ability of individuals to resist authority to secure civil rights and personal liberties.
