Einstein

On November 25, 1915, Einstein presented his definitive equations of general relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences.

100 years have passed since Einstein revolutionized the world of physics and changed the conception of the Universe.

A group of scientists has found the first evidence of the expansion of the universe after the Big Bang: the trace of the first gravitational waves.

The man who revolutionized physics

On March 20, 1916, Albert Einstein formulated his theory of relativity.

"A person who has not made his great contribution to science before thirty never will," said Albert Einstein. However, it seems that the reality is quite different. An analysis of the Nobel laureates in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine of the last 100 years, carried out by the University of Ohio, reveals that the majority of researchers make their great contribution to science after 40.

The fundamental pillars of physics and Einstein's theory of relativity falter after the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has discovered through the OPERA experiment that there is something that could move faster than light: neutrinos.

Experiments carried out on airplanes or rockets had already shown that, under the influence of acceleration due to gravity, a clock decelerates its "ticking" with respect to a clock that remains on Earth, as predicted by the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein in 1915. Now, his hypothesis has been verified with a precision 10,000 times greater than any preceding test.
