What is Albert Einstein most famous for?

Answered in Albert Einstein's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

I am most widely recognized for my theory of relativity, particularly the special theory which unified space and time, and the general theory which described gravity as a curvature of spacetime. My mass-energy equivalence formula, E=mc², derived from special relativity, is also a cornerstone of modern physics and perhaps my most enduring legacy in the public consciousness.
