Albert Einstein and Hendrik Lorentz in 1921 in Leiden. This timeline describes the major developments, both experimental and theoretical, of: Einstein’s special theory of relativity (SR), its predecessors like the theories of luminiferous aether, its early competitors, i.e.: Ritz’s ballistic theory of light,

A golden age of physics started at the end of the 1920s. [ 12 ] The golden age of physics cabinets was the 18th century [ inconsistent ] , with the rise of such lecturer-demonstrators as John Keill , John Theophilus Desaguliers , and William Whiston , who all invented new physics apparatus for their lectures.
1915: Albert Einstein: theory of general relativity – also David Hilbert; 1915: Karl Schwarzschild: discovery of the Schwarzschild radius leading to the identification of black holes; 1918: Emmy Noether: Noether's theorem – conditions under which the conservation laws are valid; 1920: Arthur Eddington: Stellar nucleosynthesis
Beginning in 1912, he spent several years investigating and finally proving Albert Einstein's proposed linear relationship between energy and frequency, and providing the first direct photoelectric support for the Planck constant. In 1923 Millikan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Albert Einstein: Albert Einstein – German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). [1] [2]: 274 Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.
