Was Einstein was working as a patent clerk when he formulated the Special Theory of Relativity?
Yes he was.
Who are the two most famous scientists from Jamaica?
Dr. Thomas Lecky invented a new breed of Cattles and Pr. Manley West invented Canasol to treat glaucoma from marijuana.
Did the newly formed State of Israel ask Albert Einstein to be its first Prime Minister?
After the death of Israeli's first president, Chaim Weizmann, in November 1952, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion offered Einstein the position of President of Israel, a ceremonial post. Einstein declined this offer.
Thus, Einstein was offered the post of President and not Prime Minister.
For GSN oodles: they have mistakenly answered TRUE.
What is Albert Einsteins biggest obstacle?
He's dead. Other than that, A pine box and 6 feet of earth.
Has Einsteins theory of relativity been completed?
Depends what you mean by "completed."
Both special and general relativity are "complete" in that they fully describe that part of the Universe that they INTEND to describe. However, neither describes EVERYTHING. General relativity, for example, is a more complete theory than is special relativity. However, even GR is useful only for gravity, saying nothing about electro-magnetism (EM) in our Universe.
Einstein was fully cognizant of this fact, and figured it would take a decade or so AT MOST to add EM to a fuller theory of relativity. Unfortunately, he was wrong -- not only is EM no closer to being combined with GR today than it was in 1915, but we now know that there are other forces we need to integrate into a more general theory! And even WORSE, we now know about quantum mechanics, which is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE to combine with GR.
The final "completion" of relativity -- an combination of all forces with GR and QM -- still awaits us. If any person is able to devise a "Theory of Everything," s/he would go down in history in the same vein as Einstein or Newton.
Did Einstein conceive theory of relativity while riding a bicycle?
The general consensus is yes, Albert Einstein conceived of his theory of relativity while riding his bicycle. It is said that:
"while riding his bicycle at night Einstein observed that [the] beam cast from his headlamp always traveled at the same speed whether he was cruising at a quick speed or coasting to stop."
Thus the theory - light from a moving source has the same velocity as light from a stationary source.
Unfortunately, this information is merely a "tale." It has not been historically proven.
Why was Albert Einstein named after ensteinium?
The chemical element was named after Albert Einstein, not the physicist after the name of an element !
what is the answer
What are some odd facts about Albert Einstein?
He married his first cousin. He refused to believe black holes existed.
Did Albert Einstein work at Princeton or was he a student at Princeton?
Albert Einstein completed his formal education in Europe and was never a student at Princeton University. He had a faculty position at the Institute for Advanced Study, an independent institution that leased office space from Princeton University in those days. Einstein was never an employee of Princeton University.
True or False Einstein couldn't remember his address?
Hmm... Hard Question. I think I read in a book that one time he did. Check on google or something to try to get the answer.
What date did Albert Einstein discover electricity?
In this time line, Albert Einstein is not credited with discovering electricity. Einstein did however do work with the electron's role in quantum physics.
In Time Line 3, a man by the name of Albert Einstein did make great scientific progress with electricity in the early twentieth century, however he is not believed to have any relation to the Einstein of this timeline.
Why did Arthur Eddington chose Albert Einstein's theory?
For a VERY simple reason: Einstein's Theory explained experimental results perfectly, and no other theory did so. That is the basic nature of science.
YES
NO!!! he had trouble in school and did homeschooling! im doing a report on it
What did Albert Einstein like and dislike?
lilke: Sailing music his violin Maria his sister
Dislike: socks haircuts
What kind of herb helping autism?
Quickly wet the stain the put some dish washing liquid on it. Rinse out in water after 30 minutes. Allow to dry in the sun. If stain is still visible after drying try vinegar on the stain, dry in sun again, and then wash. Stain should be gone.
What was so important about Albert Einstein's discovery on E equals MC?
E represents energy in Joules, m represents mass in kilograms and c represents the speed of light.
Let's say we have a gram of mass. By Einstein's energy equation, that gram of mass has 299,792,458 x 299,792,458 x 0.01b of energy. That works out to exactly 89,875,517,873,681.764 Joules of energy in one gram of ordinary matter.
That's 90 trillion Joules. For comparison, the atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima by the United States released 60 trillion Joules of energy. However, that bomb didn't completely convert the matter into energy, it just released alot of it.
Who said close the patent office because there is nothing left to invent?
Close the Patent Office?!
'Rumor had it that, back in 1899, U.S. Commissioner of Patents Charles H. Duell declared that everything that could be invented had been invented. In actuality, Duell's supposed comment and his recommendation that the Patent Office be closed down proved an urban myth. Of course, that didn't prevent the metaphor from being abused by pundits such as yours truly, or by presidential speechwriters.'

How did Albert Einstein found The Hebrew University of Jerusalem?
Th Hebrew University of Jerusalem was not founded by Albert Einstein, it was founded by Dr. Chaim Weizmann. Dr. Weizmann was a Jewish man born in Russia in 1874. He was a biochemist, an adviser to the Allied forces in World War I, and was eventually appointed head of the Zionist Commission sent to Palestine by the British Government, known as the Balfour Declaration. The British Government proposed a Jewish settlement in Uganda, but Dr. Weizmann opposed it and suggested the creation of a Hebrew University in Palestine instead. In 1925, the university opened in Jerusalem and Dr. Weizmann was chosen as the first honorary president. He eventually became a prominent leader in the Zionist movement in Europe and in Palestine. He later became president of Israel which he served until his death in 1952.
Although Einstein was not the founder of the University, he was among the First Board of Governors for the University, along with Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber, Haim Nahman Bialik, Asher Ginsberg (Ahad Ha'am), Dr. Judah Leib Magnes, James Rothschild, Sir Alfred Mond, Nahum Sokolov, Harry Sacher and Felix M. Warburg.
Could Albert Einstein open a cereal box?
According to the degree of difficulty of the experiments and hypothesis that Einstein created, I believe he would have no problem what so ever opening a simple cereal box. There are even directions on top of most boxes informing the consumer how to open it if they cannot figure it out.
What was Albert Einstein's amazing idea about the speed of light?
That, no matter who measured the speed of a beam of light, the result would be the same. In other words, someone travelling at 99% the speed of light would measure the same speed as someone standing still (all realtive to the light source).
Why is Einstein's theory of relativity considered a theory?
All scientific explanations of anything, if they are backed by substantial evidence, are classified as theories. If they have not been backed by substantial evidence then they are classified as merely hypotheses. No matter how good a theory may be, we can never be absolutely certain that someone will not eventually come up with an even better explanation, hence, theories remain theories, they are not Absolute Truth.
