... and the other star is receding, the speed of the stars could be traveling extremely fast. Imagine that the speed of the stars is fifty miles per second. If the speed of light was not constant, then the approaching star would be traveling at the speed of light plus the speed of the star while the receding star is traveling at the speed of light minus the speed of the star. In short, we would ... have many beams of light from this system traveling through space in ... same size going the same direction being viewed from Earth.

... published his famous relativity theory, which basically stated that time moved differently on objects that moved with different speed. Einstein added a forth dimension which was time. Some of its basic idea were that speed of light is always the same and that as the object reaches the speed of light its mass increases. This was just an explanation to his next paper. This formula made Einstein's name known ... in every household over night. In 1905 Einstein published the theory of E = mc2:Double-Edged Sword. This equation states that ... energy equals mass times the speed of light squar...

... lab is relevant to the person that is in the lab. The principle of relativity theorizes that experiments in an internal frame, is independent from uniform velocity of the frame. An example of this is the speed of light. The speed of light within the internal frame is the same for all, regardless of the speed of the observer. Two events that are simultaneos in one frame, may not be ... the simplist equations, he found a set of 10. To test the general theory Einstein performed three tests. Gravitational red shift, light deflection, and perihelion shift of mercury. To test light deflection, ...

... history and theories found in Introducing Quantum Theoy, by J. P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate, did not help me find the light at the end of the tunnel either; instead, it was more of a review of AP chemistry concepts, still leaving me in that long dark tunnel of grasping to understand higher dimensions. Being a good student, I had to continue my quest for information; reading through chapter seven ... are paired, but also when they are separated at vast distances. This ability to "receive a spin- at vast distances stirs up many issues. The information of the spin must therefore travel than ...

... paper, on the photoelectric effect, presented a hypothesis on the nature of light. Albert not only proposed that under certain circumstances light can be considered as consisting of particles, but he also hypothesized that the energy carried by a photon is proportional to the frequency of the radiation. The proposal that the energy contained within a light beam is transferred in individual units, called quanta, contradicted the hundred ... , even Robert Andrews Millikan was surprised when he proved the theory correct. In his third paper Albert formed the famous equation e=mc, which states...

... poetry. His work at this time dealt with molecules, and how their motion affected temperature, but he is most well known for his Special Theory of Relativity which tackled motion and the speed of light. Perhaps the most important part of his discoveries was the equation: E= mc2. After publishing these theories Einstein was promoted at his office. He remained at the Patents Office for another ... two years, but his name was becoming too big among the scientific community. In 1908, Einstein began teaching party time at the University of Berne, and the following ... by the government, and...

... world wide recognition. "His first paper was The Special Theory of Relativity which dealt with the relativistic attribute of motion, time and space- (Candee 178). This theory influenced the space program. His second Theory was The Quantum Law of the Emission and Absorption of Light where energy could exist in form of little packets or quantas (Candee 179). This theory later developed ... the atomic bomb and brought him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 (Thomas 3).

Only the words of General Thomas Farrel, present at the site, could fully explain the magnitude of the situation; he wrote: [The] whole country was lighted by a searing light with the intensity many times that of the midday sun. It was golden, purple, violet, [grey] and blue.
