1905
The year 1905 was significant in world history, marked by major events and changes. In Russia, the Russo-Japanese War led to widespread discontent, culminating in the Russian Revolution of 1905, which sought political reform and better working conditions. This revolution was a response to the hardships faced by the population and resulted in the establishment of the Duma, a legislative assembly.
In the realm of science, 1905 is often referred to as Einstein's Annus Mirabilis or "Miracle Year." During this time, Albert Einstein published four groundbreaking papers, including those on the photoelectric effect and the theory of special relativity. These contributions fundamentally changed the understanding of physics and laid the groundwork for modern theories.
