I appreciate all of you.Īdrienne, please define pleasure activism for us. adrienne, welcome to Radical Imagination.

This aspect of relativity explained the phenomena of light bending around the sun, predicted black holes as well as the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) - a discovery rendering fundamental anomalies in the classic Steady-State hypothesis. When Einstein applied his theory to gravitational fields, he derived the "curved space-time continuum" which depicts the dimensions of space and time as a two-dimensional surface where massive objects create valleys and dips in the surface. Einstein also derived the famous equation, E = mc 2, which reveals the equivalence of mass and energy. For objects travelling near light speed, however, the theory of relativity states that objects will move slower and shorten in length from the point of view of an observer on Earth. This does not have a major impact on a person's day-to-day life since we travel at speeds much slower than light speed. Although the concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, his major contribution was the recognition that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and an absolute physical boundary for motion. The Theory of Relativity, proposed by the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) in the early part of the 20th century, is one of the most significant scientific advances of our time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In an instant, Des loses everything, and his life becomes newly defined by a quest for revenge.
