Einstein showed that what was thought to be inherent in phenomena was merely a manifestation of how we chose to talk about them. Relativity reveals an integrated and dynamic universe. Time, for example, is not absolute, but part of the fabric of the universe and relative to observer perspective. The faster an observer travels, the slower time passes relative to the perspective of one travelling at slower velocity. Einstein was also pivotal in the development of quantum theory, which successfully predicts the workings of subatomic particles. Quantum theory successfully explains all of chemistry and most of physics, and has enabled the development of important resources such … ER -
