"In 1905, Albert Einstein wrote four papers that revolutionized the field of physics. The impact of his work helped launch quantum mechanics, deepened scientific knowledge about how molecules behave, and advanced understanding of astronomical objects and cosmology. Technologies such as solar power, global positioning systems, and digital equipment from computers to cameras stem from his insight into light, radiation, velocity, and gravity. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore and throughout the world continue to benefit from his legacy." (SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY REVIEW) This article examines how Einstein's theories have impacted scientific studies since their publication in 1905.
