Einstein’s theory of relativity

Published on 27 September 1905, Einstein’s article “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” introduced the equation E= mc² and laid the foundation of modern physics.

From an early age, Albert Einstein had shown great interest and talent for science and mathematics. By the age of 30, he was already recognised as one of the leading scientists. Among his numerous honours and awards, the most significant one is the Nobel Prize in Physics, which Einstein received in 1921.
