Changes

Perhaps the most famous part of his special theory of relativity was his energy-mass equivelance. Up until this point, most people beleived in a newtonian universe, where mass and energy weren't related. But Einstein changed everyones veiws of the world, not only stating that energy and mass were related, but that they were equal. It was his energy-mass equivelance that gave us the famous equation ''e=mc²''. It also solved one of the mysteries of radiation. Before einstein's theory was applied, radioactive material seemed to generate endless amounts of energy from nowhere. Once they applied his theory, they looked for disappearing mass and found it. Although this may be einstein's most well known work by the general public, he did not win a nobel prize for it. In fact, he didn't win a nobel prize until 16 years later, for explaining the photoelectric effect.
