NASA satellite confirms two of Einstein's theories – Tech Products & Geek News | Geek.com
Einstein first introduced his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905 that was later followed up his General Theory of Relativity in 1915 which applied the theory to the universe as whole. Only now, almost 100 years later, have some of Einstein’s space-time theories been confirmed thanks to NASA’s Gravity B Probe (GP-B) spacecraft.
The project’s technological breakthroughs culminated in the launch of the GP-B spacecraft in 2004 with the sole purpose of confirming two of Einstein’s predictions.
Considering it has taken this long to prove Einstein’s theories, it is a little bewildering to imaging how he came up with his theories to begin with. I have to say that my favorite Einstein theory is around the notion that time is relative meaning that for someone who is in a spacecraft traveling close to the speed of light they may only experience time passing in a matter of hours or minutes while someone else back on Earth would be experiencing time as days or years.
Einstein was a Genius or Insane? - Fine line between genies and insanity... because he was different and brilliant and didn't think like everyone else does. Or Because he was holding the Truth ?
