What are the names of two scientist from the Caribbean?
Dr Juan Carlos Finlay (Cuban) (1833-1915) and Noel Gonzalez
IQ tests give numerical data but are generally not representative of anything meaningful The output is heavily biased by culture, language, social status and education.They are available on-line, from guidance teachers, and from articles in "know yoursef" books, The results are equally meaningless.
What is meant by Albert Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity'?
The theory of relativity, refers specifically to two theories: Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity. also Einstein was fatt...no phat..Ya
Special relativity: a theory of the structure of spacetime. It was introduced in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". Special relativity is based on two postulates which are contradictory in classical mechanics:
- The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another (Galileo's principle of relativity),
- The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the source of the light.
General relativity: a theory of gravitation developed by Einstein in the years 1907-1915. The development of general relativity began with the equivalence principle, under which the states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field (for example when standing on the surface of the Earth) are physically identical. The upshot of this is that free fall is inertial motion: In other words an object in free fall is falling because that is how objects move when there is no force being exerted on them, instead of this being due to the force of gravity as is the case in classical mechanics. This is incompatible with classical mechanics and special relativity because in those theories inertially moving objects cannot accelerate with respect to each other, but objects in free fall do so. To resolve this difficulty Einstein first proposed that spacetime is curved. In 1915, he devised the Einstein field equations which relate the curvature of spacetime with the mass, energy, and momentum within it.
Some of the consequences of general relativity are:
- Time goes slower at lower gravitational potentials. This is called gravitational time dilation.
- Orbits precess in a way unexpected in Newton's theory of gravity. (This has been observed in the orbit of Mercury and in binary pulsars).
- Even rays of light (which are weightless) bend in the presence of a gravitational field.
- The Universe is expanding, and the far parts of it are moving away from us faster than the speed of light. This does not contradict the theory of special relativity, since it is space itself that is expanding.
- Frame-dragging, in which a rotating mass "drags along" the space time around it.

AnswerEinstein's Special Theory of Relativity combines Galileo's Principle of Relativity to the pretext postulate that all observers, no matter what their state of uniform linear motion is, will always measure the speed of light to be the same. It is called special because it applies this moderated principle of relativity only to inertial frames of reference- that is, frames of reference which are at uniform, linear and non-rotary motion relative to each other. In general relativity he developped to apply this principle generally- that is, to any frame of reference, even those which are at non-uniform, non-linear and rotary motion relative to each other. In physical terms, this kind of relative motion usually occurs when the frames are accelerating relative to each other, or under the effect of gravity relative to each other. Incidentally, it transpired that acceleration and effects of gravity were really two sides of the same coin, since in purely physical terms there is no difference to be observed from one frame of reference if another is accelerating away relative to it, or moving away relative to it under the influence of some suitably chosen gravitation field.So in basic terms, while special relativity applies an altered version of Galileo's principle of relativity, in which it is additionally postulated that observers in all states of motion would concur the speed of light to be the same, only to inertial frames, general relativity developes this moderated principle of relativity to apply to all kinds of frames of reference of motion, namely also those frames of reference which are moving under the effect of gravity relative to each other.
A question was once asked to Einstein" What is relativity". He replied, (and I do not direct quote) " Relativity is like when you sit next to a pretty girl... It feels like one minute, but was actually an hour. As opposed to when you sit on a hot stove for one minute, but it feels like an hour. This... Is relativity".
There are two theories of relativity. The two theories are electricity and magnetism.
How many inventions did Einstein create?
he created the atomic bomb, the Einstein calculator, the Einstein refrigerator and the equation E=mc2
Einstien never perticipatied in the making of the atomic bomb, nor did he perticipate in the Manhattan project but the German engineers used his equations and formulas with out Einstein's knowing.
What did Albert Einstein look like?
Albert Einstein was known for his distinctive appearance, characterized by his wild white hair and bushy mustache. He had a round face, expressive eyes, and often appeared disheveled in his later years. Einstein's appearance became iconic alongside his revolutionary theories in physics.
How would you describe Albert Einstein's intelligence?
Albert Einstein was a highly intelligent individual known for his exceptional creativity, deep curiosity, and innovative thinking. His ability to think abstractly and imagine new possibilities allowed him to make groundbreaking contributions to the field of theoretical physics, particularly with his theory of relativity. Einstein's intelligence went beyond traditional measures and encompassed a unique combination of problem-solving skills and profound insight.
What was Albert Einstein's middle name?
Albert Einstein did not have a middle name.
According to the collected papers of Albert Einstein, box 224, on file at Princeton University, Einstein had no middle name. His birth certificate read:*

- Born: 14 March 1879
- Birthplace: Ulm, Germany
- Died: 18 April 1955 (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm)
- Place of death: Princeton, NJ, USA
Was Albert Einstein alive during World War 2?
Yes. Albert Einstein lived from 1879 until 1955.
See the Related Questions link to the left for more information.
yes Einstein was good in math but failed once in his school
How was Albert Einstein involved in World War 2?
He urged allied research to developed the atomic bomb.
Also he sent a map to the president that showed where uranium is in the united states and used the uranium to make the atomic bomb
suck it
He did not help create it and he didn't have the technoligy to show them where the uranium was so he only helped by telling Roosevelt to build it but by the time they had tested it Roosevelt died and Taft took over and he had no second thought so stick that in your bunghole.
e, or Euler's number, is roughly equal to 2.718. For more information, see the related link.
e is also used to refer to other properties. In the following famous equation, e refers to energy:
enegy= mass x the speed of light squared which for short is e=mc2
E in the equation "E = mc^2" refers to "Energy".
m refers to mass.
c is the speed of light.
Albert Einstein died on the 18th of April, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey in the USA.

The following is directly from the Wikipedia article on Albert Einstein:
"On April 17, 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an aortic aneurism. He took a draft of a speech he was preparing for a television appearance commemorating the State of Israel's seventh anniversary with him to the hospital, but he did not live long enough to complete it. He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76. Einstein's remains were cremated and his ashes were scattered."

How did oil play an important role in World War 2?
Since World War II was a war between industrial powers those who did not have oil were at a disadvantage. England, the US. and Russia had plenty of oil and only had to make sure they adequately defended their supplies. The Germans and Japanese started the war at a grave disadvantage in oil and spent the rest of the war trying to capture areas where they could get it. Japan's southern strategy was basically an attempt the capture the Dutch oil wells since at the wars start they only had a year's supply of oil for their fleet. Germany constantly worried about the Ploesti oil wells in Romania and also desperately tried to get the Russian Wells in Baki during their invasion. By 1945 what Japanese ships were left had no oil with which to sail and the Germans, if they had the pilots to fly their planes would not have been able to due to lack of fuel
What famous people have had gastric bypass surgery?
