    into motion. Einstein refers to this force as “the cosmological constant”. This constant corrected Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the movement of the universe. Originally Einstein believed that the universe was static even though his mathematical theories suggested otherwise. It was not until another mathematician Friedmann‚ solved Einsteins’s equation of general relativity using the cosmological constant. Einstein referred to this mistake as being the “biggest blunder” of his life. As

Linguistic Determinism: A Definition Linguistic Determinism refers to the idea that the language we use to some extent determines the way in which we view and think about the world around us. The concept has generally been divided into two

    Second World War. This man is best well known for his formula E=mc² which “shows the relationship between energy and mass” (Pakhare). Einstein was also credited and recognized for the creation of the atomic bomb‚ and not only that but his theory of relativity. One amazing statement said about Einstein was that he had been called “the father of the atomic bomb” (Pakhare). There has been many fascinating facts that most of the general public do not know about Einstein‚ for example he quit high school at

    WWormholes No one has any idea or any sort of evidence of how wormholes are formed‚ where they are formed‚ or if they even exist. All experts in the field of Gravitation and general relativity have to go on to prove their existence is theories and beliefs. A wormhole is defined as a hypothetical connection between widely separated regions of space-time. Wormholes are commonly misinterpreted as some sort of time travel‚ when actually they are believed to be a shortcut to make something that

    Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that is invisible to the eye and accounts for much of the universe. In fact‚ dark matter makes up 27% of the universe. There is not much information that says directly what dark matter is‚ but instead what dark matter is not. Scientists know that it is not a form of antimatter or normal matter.  This is proven by the fact that dark matter does not have interactions with the electromagnetic force like normal matter does.  If the dark matter did interact with

    Finally Resolved Scientists could finally be resolved the bewilderment over Einstein’s theory through tests using advanced technology. They are researching on how the Universe’s accelerated expansion is being driven. In Einstein’s theory of general relativity‚ which was published in 1915‚ he suggested that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time‚ which is felt as gravity. He indicated it to explain a static Universe based on his mathematical element called Cosmological Constant. On the other

    what others disbelieved- the theory of relativity in the 1900’s. However‚ based on his childhood‚ one would never know that he would be capable of transforming physics majorly. He was an unruly kid‚ getting kicked out of elementary school and only starting to speak at age five‚ which is extremely late for any child. At this point‚ many thought he was an extremely unintelligent person- but he wasn’t‚ as he matured and developed the famous theory of relativity. Another famous example is Bill Gates

    1920’s. In 1956‚ Benjamin Lee Whorf published his work developing this hypothesis based on his work using the Hopi and English languages. Both of the ideas are commonly known as the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis and also commonly referred to as linguistic relativity. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis asserted the influence of language on thought and perception. The hypothesis implies that speakers of different languages think and perceive reality in different ways and that each language has its own worldview. This
