Ref: Einstein's miracle year - Larry Largerstrom

The photoelectric effect In March 1905, Einstein published a paper with a surprising hypothesis was presented. Despite decades of evidence that light was a wave, Einsteins proposed that it might be a particle showing that mysterious phenomenon such as the photoelectric effect could be explained by his hypothesis. The idea was ridiculed for years to come, but after the wave-particle duality was a candidate to become the cornerstone of the quantum revolution.

The Brownian motion In May Einstein submitted a second paper, this time tackling the centuries-old question of whether atoms really exist. Although certain theories built on the idea of invisible atoms, some preminent scientists still believed that they were a useful fiction, rather than actual physical objects. But Einstein used an ingenious argument showing that the behavior of small particles moving randomly around in a liquid, known as Brownian motion, could be accurately predicted due to collisions of millions of invisible atoms.

Time and space are relative to the observer In June, Einstein had been in trouble over an inconsistency between two fundamental principles of physics. The established principle of relativity, asserted that absolute motion could not be defined. However, electromagnetic theory, affirmed thet absolute motion existed. The discrepancy, and the inability to resolve it, Einsten realized tha the contradiction could be resolved if the speed of light is what remains constant, while time and space are relative to the observer. It formulate Einstein what came to be known as special relativity.

E = mc2 In September came the fourth paper as a follow-up to the pare on special relativity. Einstein had given his theory some more thought, and realized that it also implied that mass and energy, one apparently solid and the other supposedly ethereal were actually equivalent. And their relationship could be expressed in what would become the most famous and consistent equation in history: E=mc^2
