In 1905, Albert Einstein published his paper on Special Relativity. He proposed that the speed of light is constant for all observers and that space and time are linked (spacetime).
It introduced the famous equation E=mc² (mass-energy equivalence), which explained nuclear energy and fundamentally altered our understanding of the physical universe.
