OCR: ALBERT EINSTEIN ALBERT EINSTEIN originated the world- famous Special Theory of Relativity. This theory offered a new way of thinking about space, time, and the Universe. From it comes the equally famous equation relating mass and energy, E = mc2 (where E equals energy, m equals mass, and c is the constant speed of light in a vacuum). His later General Theory of Relativity proposed that gravity is a consequence of the warping of space-time caused by the mass of objects. This explained how, for example, the Sun's mass warps the space through which Mercury travels and thus changes the path of Mercury's orbit. (1879-1955) A-Z. SEL LIFE NEXT ALSO STORY
