    invented and developed the method of relativity, one of the two pillars of the modern physics. He is best known for his mass-energy formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",a important step in the development of explanation. Einstein first proposed a special explanation of relativity in 1905 in his paper, "On the Electrode

    Wormholes Throughout the ages, outstanding physicists, to the movies, to some of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, have pondered the idea of time-travel. The thought of actually being able to travel to another time or universe has long since enthralled, enveloped, and overwhelmed some of the greatest minds in the history of physics. No one person can actually prove any of their theories, but a few actually make sense. Meaning that they do not violate the laws of physics. One of the

    Newton’s Spinning Globes argument runs as follows. Suppose that there are two universes, and that each universe has only two globes connected by a rigid cord. In the first universe, the system is not undergoing any motion. However, in the second universe, the globes are rotating about a fixed axis at the center of the two cords. If we measure the tension in the cord between the two globes in the second universe, we can determine from the tension force the amount of centripetal force that the globes

    Black Holes A black hole is a region of spacetime and it has strong gravitational that affects nothing. Nothing can escape from inside it such as particles nor light radiation. General relativity predicts that a compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. The point of no escape is called the event horizon. The event horizon has an enormous affect on the fate and circumference of an object crossing it. Black holes reflect no light. When it meets a star it consumes it and turns into a colorful

    Time travel is traveling to another place in time. It can be traveling into pass or the future. Time travel can be the solution to a lot of problems in the world. We will be able to prevent things from happening by going into the past and change our decisions or we can go into the future and prepare for it or try to prevent it too. There are a lot of research going on with time travel but it hasn’t been done by any human yet. Time travel come with challenges like paradoxes, especially when time

    Since the beginning of time itself, large objects have been attracted to one another by a mysterious force. This mysterious force led to the creation of all the galaxies, stars, and life in the universe. Humans have been predicted to have existed for almost 6 million years, and it was only 300 years ago that intelligent life had made an attempt to explain the unknown force. In 1687 a man named Isaac Newton published study called “Discourse concerning Gravity and its Properties”. Newton’s paper

Albert Einstein was destined to change the world with his Theory of Relativity to his discoveries in the scientific world. Born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany to Hermann and Pauline Einstein, Albert Einstein immediately began life with his family in a tough situation. Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 (“Physics”).

    generalization of his Special Theory of Relativity. The results of his efforts were published in March 1916 in the paper "The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity". This theory investigates coordination systems which experience acceleration relative to each other and also the influence of gravitational fields to time and space. The Special Theory of Relativity was still intelligible to the average person; this did not apply to the General Theory of Relativity. Due to the relatively small relativistic

The Theory of Special Relativity states that the speed of light is the same for all observers regardless at what speed that observer is moving. (Mastin) His Theory of Special Relativity comes mostly
