Abstract

In 1905 an unknown young man called Albert Einstein published five articles that they changed the Physics. The Relativity Theory demolished the absolute space and time that they had been characteristic of the Modern Physics from the times of Newton.The General Relativity replaced the Modern Cosmology, the static and infinite universe that it was replaced by the finite universe and in expansion of the Big Bang Theory. The Quantum Theory eliminated the strict principle of causality that it was the foundation of the deterministic representation of the Nature. The Scientific Revolution of the 20th century changed our representation of the Nature and the epistemological premises in which the modern Reason of the Western Civilization was laid down. Einstein performed a leading role in that Revolution, although the probabilistic character of the quantum theory displeased him deeply, even though he had contributed essential inputs to it.
