The Kaiser, who considered himself the leader of both civil and military life, had a respect for science and learning. #2 Science entered a great age in Germany, with scientists as the new heroes. The research that led to Germany's pioneering industrial production of synthetic dyes reaping commercial returns also brought biological and medical breakthroughs. #3 In theoretical physics, Germany was the most innovative country, and its contributions included the revolutionary discoveries of the quantum theory and relativity. #4 Germany had several scientific centers of excellence outside Berlin, such as Munich.
