Albert Einstein (in relation to relativity and visual perception)

Albert Einstein was a renowned physicist who developed the theory of relativity, fundamentally changing our understanding of space and time. His special relativity shows that when objects move close to the speed of light, time slows down and lengths contract from an observer’s perspective. In general relativity, Einstein described gravity as the bending of spacetime by mass. These ideas also influence visual perception, explaining phenomena like gravitational lensing, where massive objects warp light and create distorted images. Einstein’s work helps us understand how the universe's structure affects what we see and experience on both cosmic and everyday scales.
