Quotes About Relativity

Matter tells space how to curve; space tells matter how to move.?

where there is mass there is gravity. And where there is gravity there is curved space, according to Einstein's general theory of relativity. And where space is curved it can mimic the curvature of an ordinary glass lens and alter the pathways of light that pass through.

The Speed of Light: It's Not Just a Good Idea It's the Law. Unlike

But because the particle shower moves so fast relative to us and our detectors on Earth's surface, the muons experience the passage of time more slowly than we do.

If you travel fast, several weird things happen. One is that your inner time clock will appear to tick more slowly, as seen by all those who observe you. Your time "dilates.

El físico teórico estadounidense del siglo XX John Archibald Wheeler lo expresó de mejor forma, resumiendo el concepto de Einstein como: "La materia le dice al espacio cómo curvarse; el espacio la dice a la materia cómo moverse".4

la materia le dice al espacio cómo curvarse, y el espacio le dice a la materia cómo moverse.

It's like time travel only, you know, slower...

Everything was relative, every thing and being flowed into every other thing and being, and there were way more than three dimensions. Everything, even the things that seemed to stay still, was moving.

Por que Deus é o ser perfeitíssimo? Porque, se fosse imperfeitíssimo, seria meu primo Gustavo.

Truth, honor, justice—were these real forces, real "forms" under the relativity theory? These were the questions with which Sir James Jeans and Sir Arthur Eddington were wrestling, and their answers gave Lanny Budd the courage he needed to go on living his lonely secret life.

There is never only one Truth. There is only one truth at a time.

Time is relative, Einstein tells us. It's an artificial construct that we have created to remind us that we are finite, mortal. The universe doesn't wear a wristwatch. And thankfully, I decided to stop wearing one the day I found out I had terminal cancer." --My Own Personal Singularity

Before God we are relatively all equally wise — equally foolish.

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light. Nothing, that is, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

If time and space are curved, where do all of the straight people come from?

every generation is equidistant from God.

If there is beauty, there is ugliness. If there is good, there is bad. Being and nonbeing and difficult and easy and high and low and long and short and before and after and need, depend, create and define each other.

Like the first two revolutions, chaos cuts away at the tenets of Newton's physics. As one physicist put it: "Relativity eliminated the Newtonian illusion of absolute space and time; quantum theory eliminated the Newtonian dream of a controllable measurement process; and chaos eliminates the Laplacian fantasy of deterministic predictability.

We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in that warping and how they change.

When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced high school students.

The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so did quantum mechanics, and so did other things.

No, I don't understand my husband's theory of relativity, but I know my husband and I know he can be trusted.

Only six men in the world know about relativity. I am not one of them. When I ask them to explain, they confused me.
