Albert Einstein was 26 years old when he published his groundbreaking paper on the theory of relativity in 1905. This theory fundamentally changed our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which introduced the famous equation E=mc², was a product of his innovative thinking and the challenging intellectual environment of the time. He was working as a patent examiner at the Swiss Patent Office, where he had the time to ponder complex scientific questions. His ability to synthesize existing theories and introduce new concepts led to pivotal advancements in physics that continue to influence the field today.
