When Albert Einstein first published the Special Theory of relativity in 1905, he was ridiculed. People thought it was just too weird and radical to be real. Einstein wasn’t satisfied with his theory either, because the theory did not apply if Gravity was present or if the observer was accelerating.
Einstein’s “Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper“ (“On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”) was received on 30 June 1905 and published 26 September of that same year. The theory developed in this paper later became known as Einstein’s special theory of relativity. There is evidence from Einstein’s writings that he collaborated with his first wife, Mileva Marić, on this work. The decision to publish only under his name seems to have been mutual, but the exact reason is unknown
