This is the year Einstein publishes visionary pieces, one of which is very well known is the Theory of Relativity (Doc). Einstein develops this theory while on a bus in Burns, Switzerland. Imagine the bus traveling near the speed of light, when it reaches the speed of light he notices that the hands of the clock tower in the distance appeared frozen. This leads to the idea that space and time are deeply connected, the amazing thing is that Einstein wasn't even a scientist at that point. He would develop a total of 4 theories, but he was faced with hundreds of years of established science and reconditioning would not be easy. It would be almost a decade before he was able to prove all his theories, nothing would stop him from achieving his goal, not even the First World War. He developed a new understanding of gravity, whereby space, time and are malleable. The way he would try to demonstrate this was to take a photo of the stars near the sun, but only during a total solar eclipse to see the bending of the light. He accomplishes this feat, but not before years of missed eclipses and wild cross-country chases that his fellow scientists have endured, one of whom became a prisoner of war to aid Einstein's cause. It is truly amazing how a stranger challenged established theories only to disprove them and give a new one
