albert einstein

Just found this. Might take a long weekend and look this over. I probably won’t understand the math, but I will be very amused. P.S. Could someone find evidence for Stigler’s Law? I need to win a Nobel. :p

In 1932, Albert Einstein publicly endorsed an alleged psychic girl known as Gene Dennis. I am looking for information on this person because I wanted to write an article on Gene Dennis for a skeptic newsletter I contribute to. A favourite magician of mine was David P. Abbott he debunked many...

Quantum information transfer confirmed. Einstein wrong (didn’t he say it couldn’t happen?). Is this news? If this experiment turns out to be reliable, what explains it? How does it happen? http://hansonlab.tudelft.nl/teleportation/ http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2014/05/28/science.1253512

Really. In 1932, he and his wife Elsa gave a friend a Christian Bible. Albert wrote a short German inscription on the flyleaf. It translates as: This book is an inexhaustible source of wisdom and comfort. Read in it often and gifts for you, Yours, A. Einstein The bible was sold in New York...

How many here believe in and see relations in between Einsteins theories of relativity, both the general and E=Mc2 and with the concept of Yin/Yang? How about the phrase, everything is relative? Is everything relative? Does Yin/Yang suggest everything is relative?

In an effort to eliminate some of the insanity among otherwise intelligent skeptics, I am attempting to inspire more skepticism among my fellow-skeptics regarding outlandish claims made by "theoretical physicists" (a.k.a. fantasy-makers) regarding time travel. I am disturbed to see so many wooed...

In a recent lecture, one of my professors (this is at a top 50 US university) taught that Albert Einstein was an atheist who manipulated his equations to deny that the universe had a beginning. Is anyone familiar with this claim and its validity (or lack thereof)? I also recall de Sitter being...

Article: What do you guys think, all hype? Or could there be something to this?

Have the contributions of Poincare and Lorentz been slighted by historians of science and physics? I have read some material recently about the development of SR that have made me wonder about this. Any opinions?

Title: "Einstein Wrong: A Documentary Film" URL: http://www.einsteinwrong.com/main Excerpt: blutoskitorial: I can't help but notice that the production credits include people who have books promoting alternative physics in play. My impression is that this is half of a typical two-pronged...

Einstein is probably the scientist that pops into most people's minds when they think about who is an important scientist/thinker. Recently, many have called for Darwin's theory of Evolution to be considered the most important idea in science with ramifications for humanity in general. And...

I remember reading somewhere, perhaps on these very forums, that the relationship between Einstein and his beliefs in God were greatly misunderstood. Further, that Einstein's quotes which include God are often taken out of context. Can someone please explain the relationship between Einstein...

A Cynic Looks at Judy Wood and Bogus 9/11 Science By CAL (Cynic At Large) Recently, many attempts to discredit the scientific investigation of 9/11 have surfaced. I will look at these attempts to discredit in the context of scientific history. Aristotle Aristotle attempted to discredit the...

Many have debated Einstein's beliefs on the subject of religion. A little-known letter that he wrote, which should clarify his beliefs, is going up for auction this week in London. I'd post the link to the article on it, but I'm too much of a newbie, so I'll just post some quotes from the...

Linkage here This looks like it took a lot of time and thought. I am in no way an expert, but this seems to make sense. Hey physicists, is this an adequate explanation for laypeople?

I was recently re-reading David Bodanis' "E=mc squared". He explained somewhat vaguely how Einstein had discovered the link between matter and energy, and said that if you wanted to know more, you could go to Bodanis' web site and the full rationale for Einstein's conclusions would be explained...

Figured I'd bring up this question from the 1999 Time Magazine controversy.

Thanks to a Fark Submitter, I had the opportunity to readthis. He even Godwined his own piece. I am in no way an expert, and I understand that sceince is always evolving. Our understanding of things improves over time, but is this guy saying that E=MC2 is not valid because scientists can...

I recently read an article written by Steve Bryant "relativity challenge" and wondered what others thought of it...I noticed a lot of hostility towards it...even though, to me it made a lot of sense, by disproving a lot of the trash that SR and GR predicts. I have not included a link as:- I...

I came across this article that, if I understand it correctly, rather boggles my mind. Apparently Harvard researchers were able to demonstrate that by passing a light through a supercooled sodium vapor cloud (at temperatures close to absolue zero) the light separated into two different states...

Saw these posts a while back on it. And a bit more from another site: And:

http://www.unarius.org/einstein/ In April 1955, Einstein changed worlds or left the physical plane in so-called death and ascended to one of the higher celestial dimensions. He now resides on the spiritual plane of Eros, a nonatomic planet devoted to the expression of science. After his...

Are there any sites/threads that have countered the claims made on the articles below? Proverbial "nails in the coffin" so to speak? It's oft part of a long-standing diatribe amongst anti-semites who repeatedly use the links below, usually one finds threads or sites that deal with controversial...

Oh, this makes me ill: http://www.einsteinwrong.com

Albert Einstein said this, I know because many religious types keep bringing it up. They use his quote to argue that religion and science can and should work together, example.. ID. I've googled a bit to find out what Einstein really meant by this quote or even to find the context of which...

A few weeks ago I read an article called "Einstein, plagiarist of the century": http://allais.maurice.free.fr/English/Einstein1.htm A flawed article, from a highly unreliable source (Nexus); but Richard Moody is not the only man who is saying this, and more qualified authors have come to the...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7423298 I found these animations to be a nice and simple broad overview of relativity. I'm sure most people here won't learn anything new from it but thought I'd share it for those intimidated or unfamiliar with relativity theory. The MSNBC website currently has...

Acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning author of novels such as The Jungle, and Oil!, Upton Sinclair also penned a book detailing telepathy experiments done with his wife Mary Craig. Entitled Mental Radio, Albert Einstein wrote the preface: [/b] amherst

Yes, strange but true. The FBI have over a thousand pages on Albert Einstein due to his communist activities. Not that this has any relevance to any discussion. I just like to bring it up when somebody goes "Einstein believed in God." by saying "Einstein was also a communist."...
