Einstein conference celebrates 20th-century geniusFriday, March 04, 2005 One hundred years ago, 26-year-old physicist Albert Einstein rocked the science world.
He developed the special theory of relativity, demonstrating that measurements of time and distance vary systematically as anything moves relative to anything else.
He came up with the quantum theory of light—the idea that light exists as tiny packets or particles, which are now known as photons. And he developed an extension of his special theory—that energy and matter are linked—in that now famous equation, E=mc2.
UVic and Camosun College are celebrating the centenary of this astonishing burst of creativity with a conference, "The Unknown Einstein: Reassessing the 20th Century's Most Famous Scientist," on March 18-19.
