Ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity's deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in. Stephen Hawking

In 1907, he published a paper on his new theory of gravity. In this paper, he presented his theory that light is an undulation in spacetime. In 1915, he published another paper that addressed his special theory of relativity.

Throughout his life, Albert Einstein maintained that science is a never-ending quest for knowledge. Even in death, Einstein continued to speak out in favor of scientific advancement.
