What was albert einstein's contribution to understanding the universe?

Answer 1

Einstein's major contributions are as follows: -used molecules to explain random movements in a fluid and calculated the dive of the molecules. -made the idea of Photons a reality by using them in his paper on the photoelectric effect. -The Special theory of Relativity stated the laws of physics are the same for all uniformly moving frames of reference. -general relativity is his ultimate work, a theory of gravity where gravity is equal to acceleration and is caused by the warping of space-time itself by the prescence of mass/enegy. Also, e=mc^2 is something he came to after the special theory of relativity, and he attempted a unified field theory but never finished it.

Answer 2

Albert Einstein's contributions to science have influenced the scientific community for over 100 years. Here is an example of one of his most famous contributions.

At the age of 26 in 1905, Einstein published his special theory of relativity. Based on this theory, experimental observations can be correctly predicted upwards of approaching the speed of light.

Because of Einstein, the 200 year history of Newtonian mechanics, it, in a sense had to be replaced with the formulation of quantum mechanics.

Answer 3

The general and special theory of relativity, which modern physics is based on.
