--------
Of course. Here is a brief explanation of Albert Einstein and Alfred Einstein.
Albert Einstein
Born: March 14, 1879
Died: April 18, 1955
Profession: Theoretical Physicist
Achievements:
One of the most renowned scientists of the 20th century, he proposed the theories of special relativity and general relativity.
In 1905, he published a paper proposing the photon hypothesis (the particle nature of light), which had a significant impact on the development of quantum mechanics.
He derived the famous equation E=mc², which expresses the equivalence of energy and mass.
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
Alfred Einstein
Born: December 30, 1880
Died: February 13, 1952
Profession: Musicologist, Music Critic
Achievements:
A German-born American musicologist known for his research on Western classical music.
Famous for his works on composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach.
One of his most well-known works is "Mozart: His Character, His Work."
A prominent authority in the field of musicology, contributing to many music dictionaries and histories.
Differences Between the Two
Fields: Albert Einstein was a physicist who made significant contributions to science, while Alfred Einstein was a musicologist renowned for his research on music history and theory.
Achievements: Albert is known for his theoretical constructs and discoveries in physics, whereas Alfred is known for his research and writings on music history and composers.
Both individuals, although sharing a similar name, made significant contributions in their respective fields.

Certainly! Here’s a brief overview of Albert Einstein and Alfred Einstein in English.
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist born on March 14, 1879, in Germany. He is famous for his theories of special and general relativity and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. His work laid the foundation for modern physics and he is considered one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century.
Alfred Einstein, on the other hand, was a musicologist and music historian born on December 30, 1880, also in Germany. He is known for his studies on Mozart and for revising the Köchel catalogue. After emigrating to the United States, he taught musicology at several universities. While Alfred and Albert are said to be related, the exact nature of their relationship is unclear.
Both Einsteins left significant marks in their respective fields, but there are varying accounts regarding their relationship. Some sources suggest Alfred was Albert’s cousin, while others deny any relation. However, there is a theory that they shared common ancestors.

The Two Einsteins
There are actually two famous people with the last name Einstein!
1. Albert Einstein
Born in Germany on March 14, 1879, he was a theoretical physicist.
He revolutionized 20th-century physics with his theories of special and general relativity.
He won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
He proposed the famous equation E=mc², which shows the equivalence of mass and energy.
He made significant contributions to many areas of physics, including the cosmological constant, Bose-Einstein condensate, and the theory of Brownian motion.
He died on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey, USA.
2. Alfred Einstein
Not related to the scientist Albert Einstein above.
He is a member of the Japanese comedy duo "Einstein" (Einシュタイン).
He was born on January 23, 1983, in Osaka City, Japan.
The comedy duo's name is a homage to Albert Einstein.
The duo consists of Naoki Inada and Yuzuru Kawai.
They formed in 2011.
They have won awards at major Japanese comedy competitions like "All the Mansen" and "NHK上方漫才コンテスト" (NHK上方漫才コンテスト - NHK Upper Class Manzai Competition).
They are active in television, radio, and live performances.
In short:
Albert Einstein is a renowned physicist of the 20th century.
Alfred Einstein is a member of a popular comedy duo.
They are both successful in their respective fields, but not related.

Note:
Response by Google Gemini is wrong. Alfred Einstein is a musicologist.
I also prompted in English, but the result was almost the same.
The famous Albert Einstein enjoyed playing the violin and music, so Alfred is sometimes mistaken for Albert.
Actually, when I found a book on Mozart by "A. Einstein" at my university, I thought, "Oh, the genius of physics was also an musicologist!"
