Imagine two observers, one seated in the center of a speeding train car, and another standing on the platform as the train races by. As the center of the car passes the observer on the platform, he sees two bolts of lightning strike the car - one on the front, and one on the rear. The flashes of light from each strike reach him at the same time, so he concludes that the bolts were simultaneous, since he knows that the light from both strikes traveled the same distance at the same speed, the speed of light. He also predicts that his friend on the train will notice the front strike before the rear strike, because from her perspective on the...

Two spaceships are traveling together through the galaxy at close to the speed of light. Mounted on one ship is a laser that can fire pulses of light, and on the other, a mirror. The pilot of the first ship fires a pulse at the mirror, and watches as it is reflected back. A clock on board measures how long the round trip takes. But now suppose that he does this as the ships are passing an observer on a nearby asteroid. According to relativity theory, this observer sees the pulse moving ...

He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect." Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform ...

www.encognitive.com The Basics of Special Relativity Relativity is a widely used term. It is generally used to describe everything from the comical version of E = mc2 to concepts about time travel. Here, we are referring to the theory called the Special Relativity which was first understood by Einstein. In Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, he laid down two postulates 1. The laws of physics are the same in all reference frames. This first postulate put in everyday language. 2. The ...

www.encognitive.com Theory of Relativity - The Basics The Theory of Relativity, proposed by the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) in the early part of the 20th century, is one of the most significant scientific advances of our time. Although the concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, his major contribution was the recognition that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and an absolute physical boundary for motion. This does not have a major impact on a person's ...

(Part 1 of) A horror version of Albert Einstein's contributions to the Atomic Theory made by some super awesome actors and with super awesome editing.

Modern physics is composed of two theories that are ferociously incompatible—reached its schizophrenic impasse: one theory, known as general relativity, is fantastically successful in describing big things like stars and galaxies, and another, called quantum mechanics, is equally successful in describing small things like atoms and subatomic particles. Albert Einstein, the inventor of general relativity, dreamed of finding a single theory that would embrace all of nature's laws. But in this ...

A few jewels of wisdom Albert Einstein thought and spoke that we can understand.

This is the reverse side of the postcard featuring Macclesfield Infirmary. It was posted over a century ago on the 1st. July 1905. In fact 1905 is known as an Annus Mirabilis for Albert Einstein and for human knowledge, because in that year he published four seminal papers in the "Annalen der Physik" which contributed very substantially to the foundation of modern physics, and radically changed our views on space, time, and matter. Coincidentally, he published the third of his four papers on the 30th. June 1905, the day before this card was posted. This paper is now known as his "Special Theory of Relativity".

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955): In the year 1905, Einstein elaborated on the experimental results of Max Planck who noticed that electromagnetic energy seemed to be emitted from radiating objects in quantities that were discrete. The energy of these emitted quantities- the so-called light-quanta- was directly proportional to the frequency of the radiation which was completely contrary to classical electromagnetic theory, based on Maxwell's equations and the laws of thermodynamics. Einstein used Planck's quantum hypothesis to describe visible electromagnetic radiation, or light. According to Einstein's viewpoint, light could be imagined to...

De Haan - West Flanders - Belgium. This coastal resort has maintained a low skyline so its many villas in ' Belle Epoque' ( french-beautiful age) delights the eye. Even today there are no high-rise buildings here. Its most famous resident was Albert Einstein who lived there in 1933. Population 11,900. Many grateful thanks to all my contacts , friends & all flickr members for their continued support , that this image has made Explore. Truly appreciated. So, thanks to ALL . Thank You EVERYONE .

"In this house, future Nobel Prize winner Albert Einstein presented the Special Theory of Relativity for the first time on 21 September 1909, at a lecture for the Society for German Naturalists and Doctors"

Copied this straight from Wikipedia . . . The theory of relativity, or simply relativity, refers specifically to two theories: Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity. The term "relativity" was coined by Max Planck in 1908 to emphasize how special relativity (and later, general relativity) uses the principle of relativity.

Kids these days, no relative respect, I tell ya. The translation, roughly, looks like: IN THIS HOME SCHUF (?) ALBERT EINSTEIN IN THE YEARS 1903-1905 HIS ESSENTIAL ON THE ABHANDLUNG (?) RELATIVITY THEORY We were in Bern a few weeks before the 100th anniversary of Einstein publishing his theory of relativity, which he developed while working as a patent clerk and living in this house. Presumably the graffiti and roadway construction came later, or he wouldn't have been able to concentrate on his work at the time.
