What is the contribution of Einstein in Math?

Although he made enormously important contributions to physics, his contribution to mathematics was limited. The non-existence of a fixed frame of reference is probably the most significant mathematical contribution - as opposed to contribution to physics.


How did Ole Roemer calculate the speed of light and what were the methods he used in his calculations?

Ole Roemer calculated the speed of light by observing the moons of Jupiter. He noticed that the time it took for the moons to orbit Jupiter varied depending on the distance between Earth and Jupiter. By measuring these variations, he was able to estimate the speed of light. Roemer used a telescope to track the movements of the moons and recorded the data to make his calculations.
