What is the general theory relativity?
The general theory of relativity was published by Albert Einstein in 1916. It describes gravitation as a geometric property of space and time. It implies the existance of black holes as the death state of massive stars. It predicts the existence of gravitational waves and is the basis of current models of a consistently expanding universe.
Why is it difficult to estimate the current size of the universe?
It is difficult to estimate the current size of the universe because the universe curves back on itself. (Do not ask how it curves back on itself. The equations are in the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein.) Since no one can ever measure the distance to an edge, no way exists to determine the Universe's size.
Why is albert Einstein's math important?
Einsteins math was deplorable he barely staggered through it with help from many of his peers. His derived equations are the foundation of our current knowledge of the universe and the basis for modern computing theory.
Did albert Einstein invent anything that means something to the world?
Besides discovering the photoelectric effect, Einstein developed the Theory of Special Relativity and the Theory of General Relativity, which are the basis for quantum theory and particle theory, and the formula E=Mc2 that indirectly led to the atomic bomb, nuclear power, and much of the current theory about the structure of the universe. Other than that, not much.
Is there such a thing as the middle of the universe?
According to current theories in cosmology the universe is expanding and it has no center.
What causes sea current?
planet rotation, the wind, the temperature and salinity differences and the gravitation of the moon. The depth contours, the shoreline and other currents influence the current's direction and strength.
Does red shift expand the universe?
Redshift does not expand the universe. Redshift is a physical quantity that is used to describe the expansion of the universe. The current time has a redshift of zero. at redshift 1, the universe was half the size it is now. At redshift 2, the universe was 1/3 the size it is now, and so on. if redshift is z, then (size of universe at redshift z)/(current size of universe)= 1/(z+1)
Who is current Miss Universe?
That is Phoopp Kiyhd. She is very beautiful.
Is there a corner to the universe?
Not if the current theories about its origin and developments are correct.
How do you stream miss universe 2009?
There's no current way to stream Miss Universe 2009. This is because it is now 2014, and Miss Universe 2009 has come to an end.
Is the Big Bang the origin of the universe?
That's what the current theory indicates.
What are the three current theories on the shape of the universe?
Sphere, Hyperbola and Flat.
