The 20th century shattered classical notions of reality—relativity redefined space and time, quantum mechanics revealed the strange behavior of particles, and discoveries like nuclear energy and semiconductors transformed technology forever. Modern physics isn't just theory; it’s the driving force behind lasers, transistors, MRI machines, and quantum computing.
For engineers, these concepts are no longer abstract—they’re the blueprint for innovation. Understanding relativity ensures GPS accuracy. Quantum mechanics enables nanotechnology and ultra-efficient solar cells. Even fields like aerospace and materials science now push boundaries once thought impossible.
