abducted. It goes to show that the time in space was definitely slower than here on Earth. According to Einstein’s view‚ time is not constant it is relative and elastic. In some cases time can slow down or dilated because of gravity. In his General Relativity Theory it was stated that clocks in gravitational fields run slower compared to clocks not in a gravitational field and that the stronger the gravitational field the slower the clock runs. Some scientists have tested this slowdown factor of time

He published several very important scientific works including the theory of relativity‚ and the famous e=mc2 formula. Albert Einstein worked on his Theory of Relativity. After this theory was proven to be accurate‚ Einstein quickly rose to fame. He received honors and invitations from all over the world.In the year 1921‚ he won the Nobel Price for physics. In his work ‘The Founddation of the General Theory of Relativity’ Einstein took Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation‚ which states “the force

After hours‚ he creates the Special Theory of Relativity‚ in which he demonstrates that measurements of time and distance vary systematically as anything moves relative to anything else. Which means that Newton was wrong. Space and time are not absolute -- and the relativistic universe we inhabit is not

A speaker’s linguistic competence is that part of his knowledge - his knowledge of the language-system as such - by virtue of which he is able to produce the indefinitely large set of sentences that constitutes his language (in Chomsky’s definition of a language as a set of sentences.

The cognitive linguistics is the foundation for the new accents in the comprehension of language. These accents give some opportunities for the study of the interaction between human mind and cognitive processes. The cognitive linguistics is the separate direction of the linguistics that is characterized by the language as the general cognitive mechanism and cognitive instrument located in the center of the science. The central problem of the cognitive linguistics is represented by the construction

Presentism is the metaphysical view that “only presently existing things exist”1. While this view is coherent with Newton’s theory of spacetime‚ it faces some challenges when combined with the Theory of Special relativity (STR). In this essay‚ I will first articulate more specifically the thesis of presentism and show the main arguments of the opposite position known as eternalism. I will then outline the special theory and its consequences for the metaphysics of presentism. I will consider some
