- 61: Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
- ... massive planet now known as Neptune was found on the first night of searching (Zitzewitz 164). Perhaps one of the most key things about any theory of gravity prior to Einstein was the fact that none of them proposed the origin of gravity. Newton's law always proved to be true in the common world but did not explain the source of the force (Eddington 95). Albert Einstein proposed his Theory of Gravity in his General Theory of Relativity. In this he said that space was a three dimensional plane and that masses curved this plane in one ... another (Eddington 95). Thus a massive object would cause a large "hole" and smaller objects would "orbit" it. It is interesting to note that in either case, Newton's or Einstein's law, both prove to be true in the common world. Massive universal objects, such as black holes, are an exception but that's another story in itself (Edwards ...
- 62: The Physicists
- ... c. Dr. med. Mathilde Von Zahnd. The first one thinks he is Sir Isaac Newton, but he is in reality Herbert Georg Beutler, the second one thinks he is Albert Einstein and his real name is Ernst Heinrich Ernesti. The third physicist, Johann Wilhelm Möbius is different, he has got no second identity but he is in this sanatorium because King ... act two, Herbert Georg Beutler alias Sir Isaac Newton turns out to be a long lost world famous physicist Alex Jasper Kilton who discovered the "Theory of Equivalents" also Albert Einstein alias Ernst Heinrich Ernesti is the also long lost discoverer of the "Eislereffect" Joseph Eisler. The most noticeable changes are that there are male nurses and the iron bars in ... who is now working for a secret Intelligence service discovers first that Johann-Wilhelm isn’t mad he plays this role to save his secret before the world. Then Albert Einstein alias Ernst Heinrich Ernesti alias Joseph Eisler also a lost famous physicist and Kilton try to get in favour of Johann-Wilhelm for their secret service. Johann-Wilhelm Möbius ...
- 63: One Hundred Years Of Solitude
- ... the hard work it took to bring the remarkable weapon to life. The story began when on August 2, 1939, a month before World War II began in Europe, Albert Einstein signed a letter addressed to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Concede in careful terms, the letter stated that recent nuclear research indicated extremely powerful bombs of a new type, based on Uranium, might soon be possible. Einstein warned that the secret work with Uranium was going on in Nazi Germany. He urged that similar American research be accelerated. Roosevelt filled with fear that Nazi Germany would develop the bomb first, marked Einstein’s letter for action. Eleven days after President Roosevelt authorized the go-ahead for the Manhattan project, the Japanese, too, without American knowledge, entered the race to develop an ...

Albert Einstein once said, “Our task must be to free ourselves…. By widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” In essence ... the last 15-20 years, due to the reduction and replacement techniques (MFAT).

- 65: Disscusion On Time
- ... of the idea of time can be very influential in the way future generations will live. An interesting effect about time and gravity is that it can be dilated. Albert Einstein talked about the effect of motion and time in his theory of relativity. Einstein theorized as an object moved closer to the speed of light time would slow down, while observer’s on earth His theory was proven to be true, when in the ... and when it landed again the clocks were examined. The clock on the plane was slightly faster then the clock on the ground. The results confirmed the predictions made in Einstein's theories of relativity. This test seems so amazing and if you think about it more, if we are ever able to travel at the speed of light, hundreds ...
- 66: The Atomic Bomb and its Effects on Post-World War II
- ... World War Two, this became an ever increasing concern. In the early fall of 1939, the same time that the Germans invaded Poland, President Roosevelt received a letter from Albert Einstein, informing him about the certain possibilities of creating a controlled nuclear chain reaction, and that harnessing such a reaction could produce a bomb of formidable strength. He wrote: This new ... With Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and Slim Pickens. Highland Films Ltd., 1966.(This is a novelization of the movie.

- 67: Buddhism
- ... of the Universe. However, in the beginning of the 20th century, new developments in physics began to shake the framework of the scientific world. Due mostly to work by Albert Einstein, but also Ernest Rutherford and others, the scientific view of the universe took a drastic turn. These scientists recognized flaws in the classical Newtonian view of the universe. The recognition of these flaws led to the development of the Quantum Theory of Matter as well as Einstein's Relativity Theory. These theories, as well as the discoveries that they led to, incorporated the entire universe as being comprised of energy, and that particles, time, and space, are ... of this energy. Naturally this faced strict opposition. So much so that in spite of it's ground-breaking nature as well as the fact that it had been proven, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity failed to earn him the Nobel Prize. Even to this day many find it difficult to comprehend these more abstract theories. Both concepts - that ...
- 68: The Atomic Bomb
- By: Brett Skyllingstad The Atomic Bomb Albert Einstein predicted that mass could be converted into energy. This was the basis for the atomic bomb. Throughout this research paper, I will trace the history of the atomic bomb. In addition, who was involved and why, what happened in this event, and explain the impact that it had on the world. After Einstein predicted, that mass could be converted into energy. This was confirmed experimentally by John D. Cockcroft and Ernest Walton. “Physicists from 1939 onward conducted much research to find answers to ... CD-ROM NP) and other questions of that nature. Frightened by the possibility that the Germans may produce an atomic bomb, physicists Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, and Edward Teller consulted Einstein to address a letter to Franklin Roosevelt. Motivated by the letter, in 1939 Roosevelt commanded an American effort to obtain atomic weaponry before the Germans. With an increasing threat ...

- ... death and dumped the body. His third victim was a Catholic priest he stabbed to death in a confessional. By this time a new voice had entered his head. Albert Einstein told Herbert telepathically that Herb was the "designated leader" of his generation. Einstein then told Herb that he had to sacrifice people to stop the great California earthquakes. Then the voices changed in Herbert's head from Einstein to random people offering themselves to be killed. Herb killed five of these people. In early February he came across some teenagers illegally camping, Herb first told them to ...
- 70: What Effect Does Aging Have On Memory?
- ... note, for example. Age-related decrements were found for subjects using internal cues. However, for those using external cues, the older subjects performed better than the younger subjects. In contrast, Einstein and McDaniel (1990) found no age-related differences when they carried out a similar experiment, in a laboratory setting. Their experiment involved a dual-task in which they presented the ... memory task while also asking them to press a key whenever a certain target word appeared during the memory tasks. As a possible reason for this lack of age-change Einstein and McDaniel suggested that such prospective memory tasks can either be time-based or event-based. They found that event-based tasks are well supported in that the events act ... N. Watts (eds). Handbook of Memory Disorders. John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Dobbs, A.R. & Rule, B.G. (1989).
