Albert Einstein and Theory of Special Relativity

Although it was believed that Einstein would never be successful at anything, he showed great committment and dedication in proving the relationship between speed, mass, energy, and time. I think that Einstein proved himself and by doing this, he created a theory on special relativity. He studied Michael Faraday's studies about electricity and magnetism. Also, he studied James Clerk Maxwell's ideas that light consisted of waves made out of electricity and magnetism. When Einstein was young, he studied concepts related to the speed of light. In Einstein's equation, he combined the equation for kinetic energy with the shrinking factor equation. I believe that Einstein had to study the teachings of different scientists and mathematicians to understand the way the concepts related to his theory would work together to prove him correct. He learned that mass and energy was interchangable.
