For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.
