    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

    other, and they often clashed over findings. Although the the scientific developments of Newton and Leibniz were often in contradiction to each other, the past, and the present, their works became essential to the creation of more complete modern theories. Of the conflicts that occurred between these great scientists, the two with the most profound impacts were over the founding of calculus and the nature of the fabric of space as it relates to motion. With regards to the debates over credit for calculus

    the things that already happened in the past to the things that might happen in the future. Albert Einstien’s theories of special and general relativity have a significant influence on the ideas of time travelling. He showed that time is no longer invariable and that different observers in relative places measure different time. Einstien first developed the special theory of relativity in 1905. It is based on the two postulates: 1. Velocity of light is

    work as “Jewish physics.” Jews were not allowed to work official jobs, or university work, and Einstein was targeted to be killed. Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist who accomplished much in his life. He developed the general theories of relativity, the equation E = MC2, and won the Nobel Prize for Physics for his research on the photoelectric effect. These are just some of the things that Einstein did that made him the most influential scientist of the 1900s. In this report, I will

    The only thing Einstein credits his discovery of the theory to was conversations he had with a friend named Besso.     The physics community wasn’t welcoming to Einstein 's new theory and for a while his papers were ignored to never be picked up again until they received the attention of one physicist. This physicist was Max Planck who was the founder of the quantum theory, proved Einstein 's theories to be correct and he was invited to lecture at international meetings. Through

    science” in which scientists such as Einstein established his theories of relativity and painters such as Picasso developed cubist visual creations” (Bowles and Kaplan, 2012, paragraph 5). Matter is involved when it comes to space. Space is also involved when it comes to matter. These things may affect many things. According to Bowles and Kaplan, “Einstein’s theories disseminated quickly through revolutionary scientific person relativity, with compelling thought experiments and ultimately iconic equations

    Albert Einstein is a German physicist who established the whole theory of relativity. He was well known as one of the famous powerful physicists in the 20th century. Albert Einstein was born in German in March 14, 1879. He also won the Nobel Prize for physics for his description of the photoelectric outcome. He went to the United States after being targeted by the Nazis. His work had a major impact on the development of atomic energy. Years ago, his desire for inquiry is mostly establishing the greatest

    considered to be 14 billion years ago, when what universe is today was a single point in space. He argued that the universe came into being as a result of a violent event, and this concept came to be known as "The Big Bang". (Netting) According to this theory, as described by George Musser, it is said that this universe came into existence as a big-bang singularity. Singularities do not exist in the real world. It is an idealistic concept. Singularities are considered to exist at the core of black holes

    surrealist group, they contain works that are overly subjective and involve definite notions to scientific observation of nature, as well as the interpretations of dreams. Encapsulating the former ideas of Albert Einstein, there is a close resemblance to theories that are at the very base of quantum mechanics. Upon further inspection, Salvador Dali’s artistic imagery and methodology, as well as André Breton’s, could be seen as expressions of lucid subconsciousness. For example, André Breton emphasized the
