Reflecting on a Year of Breakthroughs: My Annus Mirabilis
As 1905 comes to a close, I am filled with immense gratitude and excitement for the remarkable journey this year has been. I had the privilege of publishing four papers that I hope will contribute to our understanding of the universe. Here’s a brief summary of each:
- Photoelectric Effect: In this paper, I proposed that light is made up of particles called quanta (or photons). This idea helped explain how light can eject electrons from a material, a phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect. This work laid the groundwork for quantum theory.
- Brownian Motion: I provided a theoretical explanation for the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, known as Brownian motion. This work offered strong evidence for the existence of atoms and molecules, which was still debated at the time.
- Special Relativity: I introduced the theory of special relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space and time. This theory posits that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and that the speed of light is constant, regardless of the observer’s motion.
- Mass-Energy Equivalence: Building on the theory of special relativity, I developed the famous equation (E = mc2), which shows that mass and energy are interchangeable. This principle has profound implications for both theoretical physics and practical applications.
I am deeply thankful for the support and inspiration from my colleagues, friends, and family. Here’s to more discoveries and innovations in the years to come!
