... light rays and many more. His Theory of Relativity was probably his most famous. It was about the laws of relativity and the law of gravity. One of Albert Einstein's theories was that he could prove was his theory about light rays. It was about how gravity could bend light rays. On March 1919 there was a ... total eclipse of the sun. This was Albert Einstein's chance to prove his theory about light rays. On that day the moon moved in the way of the sun blocking the light. On both sides ... pull of the sun bended the light rays of the two stars making it look farther to the people on Ea...

... his arm to create a burn. In 1900 the Quantum theory was advanced by one Max Planck, who stated that energy and matter are manifestations of the same thing. In 1905, Albert Einstein extended the Quantum Theory and said that the amount of energy of a piece of matter is equal to the mass of that body times the speed of light squared ... easy to handle in post-war negotiations. To intimidate them. Whatever the reason, or reasons, there was plenty of opposition to the use of the bomb in the first place. Albert Einstein opposed the use as well as General Leslie Groves.

... properties of atoms. Bohr's work was guided by a principle that said that every transition process between stationary states could be coordinated with a corresponding component in the motion of the electrons. Albert Einstein admired Bohr's work, referring to it as "the highest form of musicality in the sphere of thought." Bohr and Einstein got together several times to discuss questions of physics ... ...
