Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879–April 18, 1955) was a Jewish theoretical physicist, born in Ulm, Germany, who is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his "miracle ...

When I was small, my grandmother told me there was only one main rule in life upon which all others rested. Then she looked me in the eye and with quiet conviction pronounced, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It is with delight that I discovered over the years that this basic spiritual law can be found at the heart of many religious and spiritual teachings.

Trance Channeling is first and foremost a means of communication, and is very much akin to what many people think of as telepathy. A fair comparison can be drawn between common television and radio signal receptions and Trance Channeling. Since the most commonly used interactive or two way communications today take place through an instrument known as the telephone, however, we will start by comparing the person doing the Trance Channeling, i.e. the Trance Channel, to a common telephone.

2001 Einstein is an asteroid discovered on March 5, 1973. It is named in honor of the physicist Albert Einstein. Arthur C. Clarke joked in the postscript of his novel 3001: The Final Odyssey that he was hoping asteroid 2001 would be named after him, and was slightly miffed that Einstein got there first. … | Previous minor planet ...

The term Brownian motion (in honor of the botanist Robert Brown) refers to either The physical phenomenon that minute particles immersed in a fluid move about randomly; or The mathematical models used to describe those random movements.

An often quoted example is stock market fluctuations. Another example is the evolu ...

Larmor published the Lorentz transformations in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1897 (see Macrossan (1986)), some two years before Hendrik Lorentz (1899, 1904) and eight years before Albert Einstein (1905). Larmor predicted the phenomenon of time dilation, at least for orbiting electrons, and verified that the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction (length contraction) should occur for bodies whose atoms where held together by electro-magnetic forces. In his book Aether and Matter (1900), he again presented the L ...

Von Neumann had experienced a lightning-like academic career similar to the velocity of his own intellect, obtaining at the age of twenty-nine one of the first five professorships at the newly born Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton (another had gone to Albert Einstein). He seemed compelled, therefore, to seek out other fields of interest in order to satisfy his ambitious personality, and he found this outlet in the collaboration (some might say, collaborationism) with the military, political and industrial complex. Through a frenet ...

Element 106 was discovered almost simultaneously by two different laboratories. In June 1974, a Soviet team led by G. N. Flerov at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research at Dubna reported producing an isotope with mass number 259 and a half-life of 0.48 s, and in September 1974, an American research team led by Albert Ghiorso at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley reported creating an isotope with mas ...
