Einstein’s work replaced centuries of Newtonian physics with a new worldview where time and space are not absolute but intertwined.
Though widely known for relativity, Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for explaining the photoelectric effect, which demonstrated that light consists of particles (photons)—a discovery that laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics. Mass-Energy Equivalence: The equation Einstein
