t S t S n N n been finally awarded. From 1910 to 1921, Einstein was nominated 62 times (see table), most of them for the Theory of Relativity (Special4 or General1), but always without success. Light’s nature has fascinated the curiosity of many great scientists. One of them was Albert Einstein, who was able to predict its trajectories across the space-time continuum deformed by gravity. This d...
