Did Albert Einstein build a time machine?

Albert Einstein certainly did not build a TIME MACHINE, nor has anyone built a TIME MACHINE. However, Einstein's theories do give us a better understanding of time, and do show some possible ways of changing the speed at which time passes for a given person (if you travel in a space ship at close to the speed of light, time will pass slower for you than it does for people left behind on Earth, and you will effectively travel into the future, while simultaneously traveling to a distant location in space).


What would happen if a steel ship were not hollow?

If a steel ship were not hollow, it would be much heavier and have a higher overall density. This would make it more difficult for the ship to float and it would likely sink. Hollow spaces in a ship contribute to buoyancy and help the vessel stay afloat by displacing water equal to its weight.


How steel can make a ship float?

An object will float if it has a density that is less than that of water. Or whatever liquid it is placed on. In the case of a ship, that includes not just the steel, but the entire ship - including air trapped inside the ship.


How did a trireme work?

By displacing enough water so that the combined mass of the trireme itself, its crew, and its cargo, weapons, and other supplies stayed above the surface. After that, it had three rows of oars.


The reason a ship floats is because?

The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.

Did Einstein ever make a rocket ship before?

No. Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist. That means that he came up with ideas. He had nothing to do with rockets, at all.

Why do ships disappear over the horizon?

Ships disappear over the horizon due to the curvature of the Earth. As a ship moves away from an observer, the Earth's surface curves downward, eventually blocking the view of the ship from sight.

How far would a ship go from land to disappear from sight?

Depending with the topography, a ship would go as far as at least 200 kilometres before it disappears from sight.


Why do ships seem to disappear over the horizon from the bottom upwards?

Ships appear to disappear over the horizon from the bottom upwards due to the curvature of the Earth. As a ship moves away from an observer on the shore, the bottom part of the ship becomes obscured by the curvature of the Earth before the top part, creating the illusion that the ship is sinking into the horizon.


Why is it that ships disappear over the horizon?

Ships appear to disappear over the horizon due to the curvature of the Earth. As a ship moves away from an observer, it eventually reaches a point where the curvature of the Earth blocks the line of sight between the observer and the ship, making it seem as though the ship has disappeared.


Can ship sink or disappear?

Sure ships sink. Titanic for example and hundreds of less famous boats every year. They can also disappear....it is a big ocean out there. Not all ships that go missing are found.
