Just in case you were wondering, Einstein published these papers in 1905 when he was 26 years old (although they were a continuation of work he had started when he was 16). In the same year he published some other papers--one in which he described energy quanta (which he called photons) for the first time, and another in which he described Brownian motion which helped found the modern concept of the atom.

What did you do when you were 26?
