Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity Published
Albert Einstein introduced the special theory of relativity through his paper published in the journal 'Annalen der Physik.' This groundbreaking theory fundamentally changed the understanding of space, time, and energy. A key aspect of the theory is the equation E=mc², which highlights the equivalence of mass and energy. This work laid the foundation for modern physics, influencing various fields such as cosmology and quantum mechanics.
