Albert Einstein
In 1905 Albert Einstein published three papers that were pivotal in the development of physics. These papers discussed the quantum nature of light, provided a description of molecular motion, and introduced the special theory of relativity. Einstein was famous for continually reexamining traditional scientific assumptions and coming to straightforward conclusions no one else had reached.
