>A golden age of physics followed, from the 1910s through the 1930s

The years from 1900 to 1945 can be considered to be the Golden Age of Physics.

Although I would consider Sir James Clarke Maxwell to have laid the foundations for this age to take shape with his splendid Maxwell's equations which unified electricity and magnetism.

After Maxwell, the greatest stalwarts of Physics were Max Planck and Albert Einstein.
