Quotes About Relativity

Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity.

I can't remember a 'best gig,' and my brain doesn't work in absolute terms like that.

which is commonly understood to mean that everything is relative to something else excepting only the velocity of light.

There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.

Einer hat immer Unrecht: aber mit zweien beginnt die Wahrheit. Einer kann sich nicht beweisen: aber zweie kann man bereits nicht widerlegen.

The question: 'is the Euclidean geometry true?' has no significance for Poincaré, for these is no such thing as one geometry being more true than another.

Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity does to physicists.

Einstein, in the special theory of relativity, proved that different observers, in different states of motion, see different realities.

Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well.

The theory of relativity worked out by Mr. Einstein, which is in the domain of natural science, I believe can also be applied to the political field. Both democracy and human rights are relative concepts - and not absolute and general.

Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things.

Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.

I learned Einstein's theory of relativity when I was still in school. I simply got interested.

And it really began with Einstein. We attended his lectures. Now the theory of relativity remained - and still remains - only a theory. It has not been proven. But it suggested a completely different picture of the physical world.

I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

There certainly is a tension between the relativity of simultaneity and non-locality in quantum theory, but it's not strong enough to add up to a falsification of either side by itself.

I became interested in this question of whether you can build wormholes for interstellar travel. I realized that if you had a wormhole, the theory of general relativity by itself would permit you to go backward in time.

Just as loyalty is adherence to a trust, so treason is failure to abide by the terms of a trust. If all things are relative, and each is entitled to his own views with equal significance given to all views, then there can be neither loyalty nor treason.

Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well.

Freedom, like everything else, is relative.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes; when you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That's relativity.

When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.

Time doesn't flow at the same rate for everyone. You can change time. You can slow it down, you can speed it up.
