Albert Einstein's scientific contributions are vast and profound -
Special Theory of Relativity
Einstein's theory proposed that the laws of physics are the same for
all non-accelerating observers and introduced the concept of
spacetime.
General Theory of Relativity
This theory provided a new understanding of gravity, explaining it
as the curvature of spacetime by massive objects.
E=mc²
Einstein's famous equation relates mass and energy, demonstrating
that a small amount of mass can release an enormous amount of
energy.
Photoelectric Effect
His work on the photoelectric effect helped establish the quantum
theory of light.
Albert Einstein
German theoretical physicist
1879 - 1955
"The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
