1905 (Annus Mirabilis)

The year 1905, known as Einstein's Annus Mirabilis (Miracle Year), was pivotal in physics. In this year, Albert Einstein published four groundbreaking papers that transformed our understanding of the universe. These works introduced the concepts of special relativity, explaining how time and space are interconnected, and the photoelectric effect, which laid the foundation for quantum theory. His insights challenged classical physics and reshaped scientific thought, leading to innovations in technology and a deeper understanding of light and energy. This remarkable year marked the beginning of a new era in physics and cemented Einstein's legacy as a revolutionary thinker.
