It Didn't Start With Einstein - 0 views

  •  
    Here is an article about einstein in the context of the modernist movement. It is written in response to Time magazine's suggestion that einstein kicked off artistic and moral relativism. the author disagrees with this statement. It is a good article to understand einstein in the greater context of modernism.

  • the principle of relativity
  • We advance a step farther in our generalisation when we express the tenet thus: If, relative to K, K1 is a uniformly moving co-ordinate system devoid of rotation, then natural phenomena run their course with respect to K1 according to exactly the same general laws as with respect to K. This statement is called

  • two general facts which at the outset speak very much in favour of the validity of the principle of relativity

      Basically I get out of this the fact that Einstein is a genius and can quite literally think outside of the box.  In fact he can think at the box from any angle in multiple dimensions and then describe it.  Although I am sure I am not getting this 100%, I do see that the light is working on his end.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein - 0 views

  • "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
  • "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
  • "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

Einstein's theory of relativity explained with four letter words (or smaller). - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great summary of how the theory actually works and it is done using small words (four letters or less). and it brings in a lot of the history of it all, including newton and aristotle's theories and how they were broken.

    Here is a great summary of the theory of relativity and my favorite part is at the end where it leaves room and even suggests that such a theory implies the existence of a creator.

      This presentation really helped my wrap my mind around both special relativity and general relativity. The movies in the presentation do a great job explaining these difficult concepts.
