A beacon for scientists! Albert Einstein (1879-1955) shattered long-held beliefs with his creative ability which allowed him to dream of new physics and create scientific revolutions, including his masterpiece, the Theory of General Relativity his most monumental discovery. Sixty years after his death, he continues to inspire scientists to trust their creative powers as they push the envelope in scientific thinking.

From its inception in 1905 to its completion in 1915 The Theory of Relativity was instrumental in unlocking mysteries of the Universe previously unbeknownst to us.

It was 1915 when Einstein completed his masterpiece, the General Theory of Relativity—cutting-edge ideas on gravity and the motion of large-scale objects like stars, planets and galaxies. An earlier form of Einstein’s iconic formula (E=mc2) had been unveiled ten years prior as part of his Special Theory of Relativity (1905). It described what happens when objects reach the speed of light—a concept that must have seemed pure science fiction 110 years ago!

The General Theory of Relativity has led to technological advancements and set the platform for how we theorize today.
