Cha Myeong-sik: Changing the world with physics

This is a revised version of the world of physics science published in 2012. And with the physics scientists who have a profound impact on human history, we introduce the physics and the physics that is easily understood by the public in general. New York weekly Time, ending the 20th century on the last issue of 1999, identified Einstein as ‘ a figure of the 20st century. ’. But for the public, it doesn't seem so clear how Einstein changed the world. Although his representative work, the theory of relativity, is hidden in everyday tools, such as in the Global Positioning System G30, it does not seem to change our world materially. Einstein was chosen to be a 20th-century figure because this is the age of science and technology, and he was rated as the representative of science at this time. The history of modern science before modern times is even more obscure whether physics has changed the world. For example, several European countries became powerful by the industrial revolution and it's easy to think that there was science in this background, but that's a misunderstanding. It was after the 20th century when science began to create new technologies, and before that, technology was usually a reality first and then science explained the results. It gives us the answers to how physics changed the world before modern times.
