1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics “for his service to Theoretical Physics‚ and his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” His numerous contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity‚ which brought together concepts of mechanics and electromagnetism‚ and his general theory of relativity‚ which was intended to extend the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion and to provide a new theory of gravitation. The physics community reveres Einstein; with over

PROJECT The objective of this project is to design a MOUSETRAP CAR for maximum DISTANCE and to demonstrate an understanding of the PHYSICS principles behind the design and performance of a MOUSETRAP CAR. The project consists of 5 phases as follows: *Mousetrap Car Design *Mousetrap Car Construction *Mousetrap Car Performance *Mousetrap Car Physics Analysis * Mousetrap Car Self-Assessment MOUSETRAP CAR CONSTRUCTION: Build a vehicle powered solely by the energy of one standard-sized

Assumptions “There has never been a law of physics that did not demand ‘space’ and ‘time’ for its statement.” John Archibald Wheeler Starting Assumption: Physics today has a large body of experimental observations and mathematical equations that correspond to the experimental observations. Therefore‚ on a superficial level it would appear that we have a good theoretical understanding of nature up to a limit that will be called the frontier of knowledge. However‚ there are many counter intuitive

called black holes. The boundary past which there is supposedly no return is known as the event horizon. In this conception‚ all information about anything that ventures past a black hole’s event horizon is destroyed. On the other hand‚ quantum physics‚ the best description so far of how the universe behaves on a subatomic level‚ suggests that information cannot ever be destroyed‚ leading to a fundamental conflict in theory. No Event Horizons Now Hawking is suggesting a resolution to the paradox:

long as I can remember is science‚ and physics and psychology in particular. I happen to have A’s in both. I love studying physics and although I have an artistic and creative bent (I have played violin since I was a kid)‚ a logical and linear type of subject such as physics just fits me. I find that I can discuss physics concepts for hours‚ either technically or in ordinary conversation in which I can put a creative bend on physics and its concepts; physics has left me enamored. Although I love

Achievements of Albert Einstein in his life * Einstein showed that absolute time had to be replaced by a new absolute: the speed of light. Einstein went against the grain and totally dismissed the "Old Physics." He envisioned a world where space and time are relative and the speed of light is absolute (at the time‚ it was believed that space and time were absolute and the speed of light was relative). * He asserted the equivalence of mass and energy‚ which would lead to the famous
