Albert Einstein did not determine the speed of light, rather that the speed of light was the maximum speed possible in the universe.

The speed of light was discovered in the late 1600's by Danish astronomer Ole Roemer, using Jupiter and its moon Io. It was later used in Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, and then later used by Albert Einstein in his theory of special relativity.

What did albert einstein say about light?

Albert Einstein proposed that the speed of light is constant in a vacuum and that light can behave as both a particle and a wave, known as wave-particle duality. He also introduced the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of time, space, and gravity.


Is it true albert invent speed of light?

No, the speed of light was not invented - it's a natural phenomenon. Albert Einstein discovered the equation E=mc2. This tells us that if an object was to randomly turn into energy, the amount of energy would be equal to the objects mass multiplied by the speed of light twice.
