Albert Einstein : How he changed the world.
♥ 6:21 AM
One specific event that positively changed the course of history
was the formation of the Theory of Relativity,
also known as E = MC(square),
where E stands for energy,
M stands for mass and
C(square) stands for the square of the speed of light.
This equation forms the General Theory of Relativity,
which mean when a ray of light passes near a massive body,
the ray should be bent, thus causing an eclipse of some sort.
To prove that the theory is true, Einstein conducted a dramatic experiment.
Specifically, he predicted the degree to which light from a distant star would be observed to curve as it went through the strong gravitational field close to the sun.
A solar eclipse was spotted on May 1919,
thus proving that his General Theory of Relativity works.
Scientists succeeded in photographing stars near the Sun.
Thus Einstein became famous, and he transformed physics in a big way.
time claimed what i thought was mine
