The textbook Physics with Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers
Modern physics emerged in the early 20th century with the development of two major theories: special relativity and quantum mechanics. Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity (1905) challenged the long-held notion of absolute time and space, introducing the famous equation E=mc². Quantum mechanics, developed by Max Planck, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrödinger, describes the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level.
