Albert Einstein (theory of relativity contributor)

Albert Einstein was a renowned physicist known for developing the theory of relativity, fundamentally changing how we understand space, time, and gravity. His special relativity, introduced in 1905, showed that time and space are interconnected and relative to the observer’s motion, leading to concepts like time dilation and the speed of light being constant. His general relativity, completed in 1915, revealed gravity as the warping of spacetime caused by mass and energy, predicting phenomena such as black holes and gravitational waves. Einstein’s work provides the foundation for modern physics, shaping our understanding of the universe.
