General Theory of Relativity 100th Anniversary.

Recommended Posts

Ok, so this week is the 100th anniversary of the release of Albert Einstein`s General Theory of Relativity. (i think)
This is pretty neat. Discuss the General Theory of Relativity, what you know about it, and how the world has come with it and used it in the field of science since it`s release.

Don`t get too far into it though. If you don`t know what this is, dont post or read until you get a good idea.

Relativity isn't actually that hard to understand from our perspective, because there's a lot of real life examples that give it understandable context. 

 

A lot of the other stuff Einstien did/said s very interesting. 

 

Like he never got a noble prize on this stuff, and he refused to belive in wave particle duality until the end of his days. It's kinda interesting.

Thought he disliked the uncertainty of Quantum Physics. The funny thing is the only thing that could completlely eliminate that uncertainty would be Type B Tachyons, which he didn't really believe in either

Uncertainty is in part linked to wave particle duality. 

 

The fact we can only know a particles momentum, or it's position, but never both just irritated him, and he refused to believe. 

 

It's also funny to think that we learn calculus at an age ealier than Newton actually came up with the idea. (I think it was newton that came up with it)

It's not actually, you can bypass the Uncertainty if you have two distinguishable portions of momentum. Some Tachyons COULD have complex momentum which would allow you to exactly pin point both location and momentum.

 

Anyway, the Canadians have already found a way to reduce the uncertainty
