He is best known for his mass\u2013energy equivalence formula E = MC2 (which has been dubbed &#8220;the world&#8217;s most famous equation&#8221;).He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Benjamin Franklin (1705 &#8211; 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and in many ways was &#8220;the First American&#8221;.
