I would like to ask, what are Einstein's monumental contributions to Physics?

Question

What benefits mankind by E=Mc2 when all it did was to blow up places?

Answer 1

Moving bodies...

Answer 2

einstein allowed scientists to study things that cannot be observed by the naked eye, such as atoms and solar systems.

in a sense, many of 20th century discoveries such as microcomputers and the mission to mars were the indirect descendants of his theories

Answer 3

You really did take Inday's suggestion to heart, did you?

Well, one of Einstein's monumental contributions to physics would include thermal properties of light with low radiation density and his famous theory of relativity - that all uniform motion is relative, that there is no absolute and well-defined state of rest.

Well, to be honest...I have forgotten about physics.  I feel so ancient.  The thing is, one of Einstein's discoveries helped us to understand  why we aren't floating around like the men in space.

Answer 4

I thought of Mimi's concert. Lol.

Answer 5

And I would like to answer -

1.  electromagnetism - yeah blame him for the difficulty of Quantum Mechanics

2.  theory of relativity - speed of light and all that jazz

3.  statistical mechanics - much ado about atom-sized molecules

In fairness, that guy Albert is a genius.  Look at his approach to science ---

"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts."

Answer 6

That means we need to PERSPIRE more before we BLOW!=P
