A handwritten copy of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity notes was sold for millions at Christie’s auction house in Paris, France, on Tuesday. The 54-page document by Einstein and his friend ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...
