In the early 20th century, the physicist Albert Einstein developed a new theory (theory /
difference) about the nature of light and gravity. Before this, scientists had proven (relate /
prove) that light could behave both as a particle and as a wave, but the complete perception
(perceive / differ) of this phenomenon was not well understood. Einstein theorized (theory /
proof) that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and does not change even if the observer's
speed changes. This new idea was revolutionary and differed (differ / relate) from the classical
theories of physics, which often couldn't relate (prove / relate) why light acted in such a way.
