1. The Equation E=mc^2
2. The Theory of Relativity
3. The Photoelectric Effect
4. Brownian Motion
This is perhaps the most famous equation
in history. The atomic bomb is based on it
because it theorized that large amounts of
energy could be stored in small amounts
of matter. The equation itself means energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared.
Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers; & that the speed of light is independent of the motion of all observers. He also found that massive objects cause a distortion in space time known as gravity.
Study of the photoelectric effect led to important steps in understanding the quantum nature of light and electrons and influenced the formation of the concept of wave–particle duality.
The random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a liquid or gas, caused by the collisions with molecules of the surrounding medium. This is called Brownian Motion and until Einstein the motion was unexplained.

His Annalen der Physik papers uncovered the nature of light, created the framework for experiments that showed matter is composed of atoms, and developed the Theory of Relativity which caused us to change our view of mass energy and time.
All of that at the age of 26.
