So you want to hear a little bit about myself. Well, I was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879. I attended the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich -- I believe I've already told you that.
Take another look at Einstein's answers
As you may know, 1905 was a big year for me. That's when I turned the world upside down, at least for scientists, with several new ideas. I proposed that space and time had to be looked at in a whole new way -- that Newton's view of space and time was inaccurate. These ideas became known as the special theory of relativity and introduced the equation E=mc2.
Ten years later I presented the general theory of relativity. The general theory showed that gravity is not a force, as Newton had thought. It is instead a curvature of the space-time continuum.
With all due respect to my colleague sitting next to me, general relativity really is a fascinating way to look at gravity.
Shall I tell you more?
