That you can copy a picture by scanning it line by line.

The inspiraton apparently came from looking at the plowed furrows in a field.

This is the way TV pictures are produced.

A complete set of lines, making up one picture, is still known as a 'field' today.

In what year did they discover the theory of relativity?

Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity was written in 1687, however he did not come up with a theory of relativity. The first person to come up with a theory of relativity was Galileo Galilei, but this theory turned out to be incorrect. In a paper in 1905 Albert Einstein built upon Galileo's ideas and produced the special theory of relativity. This is a very famous paper that turned the physics world on its head. The equivalance of mass and energy in his most famous equation, was deduced as a result of this theory. Furthermore, In 1916 Albert Einstein produced the General theory of relativity, a theory of gravitiation which is an extremely successfulvand famous theory. This is the gravitation theory that we use today, as it is supremely accurate. However, Newtons theory of gravitiation works well for speeds much less than the speed of light in a vacuum, and has the benefit of being much less complex!


What theories did Einstein come up with?

Einstein is famously known for his theory of general relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of gravity and the structure of the universe. He also developed the theory of special relativity, which introduced the concept of spacetime and the equivalence of mass and energy (E=mc^2).


Who came up with the displacement theory?

The displacement theory was proposed by German sociologist Georg Simmel. He suggested that as cities grow, individuals and groups come into contact with a wider range of people, which can lead to social interactions becoming more superficial and transactional.


How long did it take Einstein to come up with the theory of relativity?

It took Albert Einstein about 10 years to develop his theory of general relativity, from around 1905 to 1915. The special theory of relativity, which dealt with the relationship between space and time, was developed earlier in 1905.


Which scientist came up with the theory of relativity?

Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity.

What year did Philo Farnsworth go to college?

Born: 19 August 1906Birthplace: Beaver County, UtahDied: 11 March 1971Best Known As: Inventor of the all-electronic televisionName at birth: Philo Taylor FarnsworthPhilo T. Farnsworth is now known as the inventor who didn't get enough credit for devising the first all-electronic television. Largely self-educated, Farnsworth grew up on farms in Utah and Idaho. As a boy he took an interest in electricity and electrons, and it's said he came up with the idea of electronically scanning images for transmission while he was in high school. He studied at Brigham Young University for two years (1923-25), but family responsibilities cut his college career short. With funding from friends and associates, Farnsworth moved to California to work on his dream of an electronic television system (earlier inventions had relied on mechanical parts). In 1927, at his lab in San Francisco, Farnsworth's "Image Dissector" transmitted the first electronic television image -- a straight line -- to a charged screen. Farnsworth spent the next decade arguing over patent rights in legal battles with http://www.answers.com/main/ntq-dsid-1648-dekey-davidsarnoff and engineer Vladimir Zworykin of RCA. In 1934 the U.S. Patent Office sided with Farnsworth, and in 1939 he sold his various patents to RCA. Although Farnsworth was awarded more than a hundred patents related to television, he did not become famous as "the inventor of television." Now it is generally agreed that the development of television involved many individuals, but it is also the consensus that Farnsworth deserves the lion's share of the credit.


Why did philo farmsworth invent television?

Philo Farnsworth invented television because he wanted to create a system that could transmit images and sound wirelessly. He envisioned a device that could capture and reproduce visual information, opening up a new form of communication and entertainment. His invention revolutionized the way people consume media and paved the way for the development of modern television.
