If Einstein's theory of general relativity was not correct in 1919, it would have likely led to a different understanding of gravity and the structure of space-time. The experimental confirmation of his theory during the solar eclipse of 1919 provided strong evidence for his ideas, which revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Without this validation, the development of modern cosmology and theoretical physics could have taken a different path.

What is einsteins greatest achievement?

Albert Einstein's greatest achievement was his development of the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity. This theory has had profound implications for modern physics and has been confirmed through numerous experiments and observations.


Can you prove that Einsteins relativity theory is wrong?

That would be kind of tough, since most of its explanations and predictions have been verified in thousands of experiments over the past hundred years. For one example: One of the predictions that falls out of the Relativistic math is the way that time becomes distorted or "dilated" when two objects have a high velocity relative to each other. That math was used in the design of the whole Global Positioning System. GPS would not work without the allowances built in for the effects of Relativity.


What will happen if your hypothesis is correct?

If the hypothesis is correct, it means that the predicted relationship or pattern between variables is supported by the data collected. This would provide evidence in favor of the proposed explanation or theory, increasing our understanding of the phenomenon being studied. It may lead to further research, validation of existing theories, and potentially practical applications or implications.


Can you explain string theory in very simple terms?

In simple, average Joe terms, string theory says that all the particles in the universe are really little "strings", rather then the conventional ball-shape they are normally thought of. Unlike the balls (or more accurately, points) which are zero-dimensional, strings are one-dimensional. This has some very interesting implications, but to explain them would evolve out stepping a "simple definition". String theory is known for uniting both the physical laws of the large (Einsteins general relativity- stars, planets, and people) and the small (quantum mechanics- subatomic particles), which were previously incompatible. Short for super sting theory, now known as M-theory. This answer explains only the very basics of string theory.


What was Albert Einstein's second theory?

In 1905 Albert Einstein published four papers dealing with physics and general properties of molecules. His second theory, which was contained in one of these published papers, was the theory of Special Relativity. This would later become his General Theory of Relativity.

What was albert Einsteins best invention?

Einstein wasn't an inventor he was a theoretical physicist which means his ideas underpinned later developments in technology. GPS systems would be quite inaccurate were it not for corrections developed from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.


What was Albert Einsteins Dream?

Albert Einstein's dream was to discover a unified theory that could explain all fundamental forces of the universe in a single framework. He sought to find a theory that would unify the principles of gravity and electromagnetism.


What would have happend in the gold foil experiment if daltons theory had been correct?

If Dalton's theory had been correct in the gold foil experiment, all the alpha particles would have passed straight through the gold foil with little to no deflection. Dalton's theory proposed that atoms were indivisible and uniform in structure, so there would have been no interactions with the densely packed positive nucleus within the gold atoms.

no they weren't, because if they were they would also be equally famous s their dad.

Sherlock Holmes would gather all the information possible and see if his theory is correct.


Is there anything that disproves the Darwin theory?

It is no longer Darwin's theory as the theory has been modified and strengthened by much work over 150 years. Even in Darwin's time the answer would have been no. The theory of evolution by natural selection is as correct as our science can make it. There are no theories or even ideas in opposition to selective theory.
