Choose the BEST answer to the following:
What Einstein discovered about space and time is that they
(a) are separate entities.
(b) are parts of one whole.
(c) follow an inverse-square law.
(d) are special to space travelers.
State Einstein's principle of relativity. How does this principle then lead to his postulate that the speed of light is constant independent of the speed of the observer?
Which of the following is a CORRECT description of Einstein’s Geometric Theory of Relativity?
A. This theory supported Isaac Newton’s description of gravity as a spontaneous force of attraction between two objects with mass.
B. This theory implies that the gravitational force of attraction between two objects with mass does not come from gravity itself.
C. This theory describes that space and time are eleven-dimensional where each dimension has distinct characteristics and features.
D. This theory has two postulates similar to the Special Theory of Relativity that the laws of physics and speed of light are invariant.
