20th Century Breakthroughs
- Quantum Mechanics: Early 20th-century developments, led by Max Planck and Albert Einstein, revolutionized physics by introducing concepts like quantization and wave-particle duality.
- Relativity: Einstein’s theory of relativity (1905 and 1915) transformed our understanding of space, time, and gravity, with implications for cosmology and high-speed travel.
- Nuclear Physics: The discovery of the nucleus and subsequent developments in nuclear fission and fusion opened new areas of research and practical applications, including energy production and medical technology.
