Einstein's mass-energy paper was concise due to the elegant derivation from special relativity
Special relativity
Albert Einstein's special relativity paper introduced time dilation
Photoelectric effect
Light comes in discrete quanta, not continuous waves
Einstein's photoelectric explanation used Planck's E=hf to predict that higher frequency light ejects faster electrons
Einstein's photoelectric equation E=hf predicts faster electron ejection with higher frequency light
Brownian motion
Einstein's 1905 paper proved the existence of atoms by explaining pollen's random motion
Criticism of the theory of relativity
Michelson-Morley experiment null result
Einstein field equations
Einstein field equations relate spacetime curvature to energy-momentum tensor
