German-born theoretical physicist, best known for his theory of relativity
In 1905 CE -- Born 1879 CE, died 1955 CE Special relativity incorporates the principle that the speed of light is constant. As we near the speed of light time slows down.
In 1915 CE -- Born 1879 CE, died 1955 CE It is the current description of gravitation in modern physics. It unifies special relativity and Newton's law of universal gravitation, and describes gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime.
1921
(1915 – 1919) Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity in which he proposed that mass warps both time and space, therefore large masses can bend light. The theory is proven in 1919 by astronomers using a solar eclipse as a test.
(1905) Overthres basic assumptions about time and space by describing how clocks tick slower and distances appear to stretch as objects approach the speed of light.
1916, “Gott würfelt nicht (God does not play dice)â€.
