Physics The 1920s were the most important decade in 20th century physics as scientists translated their experiments on atoms into quantum theory. Meanwhile, there was intense debate over Einstein's theories of space and time, and rocket science began on a farm in Massachusetts. Physics underwent a massive upheaval in the first two decades of the 20th century.
It is one of the strange, but fundamental, concepts in modern physics that light has both a wave and particle state (but not at the same time), called wave-particle dualism. Perhaps the foremost scientists of the 20th century was Niels Bohr, the first to apply Planck's quantum idea to problems in atomic physics.
