Einstein gave his special theory of relativity in the year 1905. At the young age 16, he had learned the theory of electromagnetism and had thought about a paradox. If a person running along with it at speed c parallel to a light beam traveling in empty space, the person would observe static electric and magnetic field patterns. However, Einstein knew that such static electric and magnetic field patterns in empty space violated the theory of electromagnetism.
