Birth of The Universe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The events that lead to the creation of our universe have been discussed for generations, and it's only now that science is beginning to put together the real story of our universe's formation. The very best and most likely theory to explain how the universe came into being, is the "Big Bang Theory", which states that in the very beginning, all the matter in the universe was condensed into an absolutely minute area of space, a bit like the effects consistent with the forces of a Black Hole. This theory, first attempted by Einstein, suggests that an infinite number of Parallel universes exist across multiple dimensions, and that our universe was created as a result of a "collision" between two of them in another dimension. www.unexplained-mysteries.com /articleuniversebirth.shtml   (319 words)

Expanding Universe Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which established the relationship between matter, space, time and gravity, governs modern cosmology's view of the universe. But when Einstein began to apply his theory to the structure of the universe, he was dismayed to find that it predicted either an expanding or contracting universe--something entirely incompatible with the prevailing notion of a static universe. Einstein admitted his mistake in 1929 when Edwin Hubble showed that distant galaxies were, indeed, receding from the earth, and the further away they were,the faster they were moving. archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu /Cyberia/Cosmos/ExpandUni.html   (1154 words)

The New Yorker: The Critics: A Critic At Large   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) When Einstein first formulated the principle in his revolutionary 1905 paper, he restricted “all observers” to those who were moving uniformly relative to one another—that is, in a straight line and at a constant speed. Einstein had shown that the flow of time depended on motion and gravity, and that the division of events into “past” and “future” was relative. Einstein was not entirely pleased with the news that his equations permitted something as Alice in Wonderland-like as spatial paths that looped backward in time; in fact, he confessed to being “disturbed” by Gödel’s universe. www.newyorker.com /critics/atlarge/index.ssf?050228crat_atlarge   (4660 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The universe, while expanding, is losing mass and will continue to until the last naytron of the last quark of the last proton of the last hydrogen atom is gone leaving the space we reside in, totally full of time. In Einsteins' relative universe, nothing travels faster than light, so a transparent glass spaceship with a bright light in it, moving at half the speed of light, would not let the light inside the ship travel at one and a half times the speed of light through the universe as would be expected. In Einstein relativity the light from the dome light cannot exceed the fixed light Thus, by some unexplained phenomena the entire car system shrinks by an exact amount, so the driver with his shortened ruler, measures the speed of light in the car the same as an observer in the tunnel. home.neo.rr.com /fmnaypaver/gutpart4.htm   (5161 words)

SPACE.com -- Astrophysics Challenged By Dark Energy Finding Merely a year ago many astronomers were skeptical that the universe was accelerating, despite supernovae (exploded star) observations published in 1998 that suggested space is expanding faster today than long ago just the opposite of conventional cosmological wisdom. In 1917, Albert Einstein first imagined a repulsive force pervading space, which later came to be called the "cosmological constant." Like a 20th-century version of the mythological Atlas, Einstein sought to shore up the universe by keeping stars from falling together under gravity. Einstein fudged his relativity equations to add a repulsive force under certain conditions in space. www.space.com /scienceastronomy/generalscience/darkenergy_folo_010410.html   (1307 words)

Relativity Mission will test Einstein one more time If Einstein is correct, then the rotation of a planet or star also twists the sheet and distorts time, just a little, in an effect called frame dragging that will slightly repoint the gyros. That's because while gravity is the glue that holds the universe together, it's also the weakest of the four fundamental forces. Stanford University scientists insert one of the gyroscope housings into the quartz block assembly that will be the center of GP-B. The star tracker telescope is attached to the right edge of the picture. science.nasa.gov /headlines/y2000/ast24may_1m.htm   (1884 words)

Introduction The idea of an expanding, dynamic universe is fairly new to Western man. Before the scientific revolution, thinkers imagined a static universe in which the stars where embedded in an unchanging crystalline firmament. Einsteins original description of gravity, buttressed by early success in predicting the results of observations, forcefully implied that the universe could not be static. Einstein was shocked by this implication and added to his theory a famous fudge factor, the cosmological constant, which would save the static universe. alumni.imsa.edu /~bruno/topics/intro.html   (1985 words)

APOD: 2005 April 22 - Albert Einstein's Miraculous Year   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Virtually every facet of our modern exploration of the Universe is touched by his now century old insights, along with his later theory of gravity and space-time - General Relativity. Einstein Memorial on the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington DC, USA. The marble platform at the bronze statue's feet is embedded with a map showing the positions of the planets, sun, moon and stars on the memorial's dedication date, 100 years after Einstein's birth in 1879. antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov /apod/ap050422.html   (214 words)

sciforums.com - sup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) There are also theories that our observable universe is but one of a potentially infinite number of "bubble universes" floating around out there in the nothing. If you accept Einsteins explanation of gravity, which I know you do, then his theory of curved space would indicate that space was made out of something. I believe that the universe is finite in size and energy, and that it will continue to expand until a)gravity stops it from expanding or b) all the matter and energy is converted into space. www.sciforums.com /showthread.php?t=6169   (958 words)

PhysOrgForum Science, Physics and Technology Discussion Forums -> "Relativity" Speaking In Einstein"s time and modern we still do not have any experiment for speed of light in moving system of references as distance divide on time, and even Einstein had written that his postulate is invention. From point of view classical physics the Einstein"s postulate does not have physical sence, because speed is not property one physical objects, but it is relation at less two objects in meaning function of distance between them from time: the Einstein"s postulate excludes this relation, and delete meaning of velocity.

Anthropic Principle and the Theory of Everything - Anthropic Principle - Theory of Everything - Thermodynamics - ... Our universe is naturally constrained to expand homogeneously, which reflects the long-term survival characteristic of bound system that is bent toward using all of its usable energy to do work, rather than to let any energy go to waste. Einstein's closed finite universe has remained an interest to science because it is the model that is the most compatible with the spirit of general relativity, because it is "closest at hand", in terms of the theory's most practical application, and that natural rule should be a law written in stone somewhere. Dirac noted that the number of baryons, (protons plus neutrons), in the universe is equal to the square of the gravitational constant, as well as the square of the age of the universe, (both expressed as dimensionless numbers). www.geocities.com /naturescience   (4141 words)

NOVA | Einstein's Big Idea | The Legacy of E = mc2 | PBS After all, the equation grew directly out of Einstein's work on special relativity, which is a subset of what most consider his greatest achievement, the theory of general relativity. Einstein believed that radium was constantly converting part of its mass to energy exactly as his equation specified. When they exhaust their hydrogen, they begin to burn new fuels and create new elements, which are spewed out into the universe when the stars eventually explode, as burnt-out stars are wont to do. www.pbs.org /wgbh/nova/einstein/legacy.html   (2202 words)

TCS Daily - Living in a Finite Universe? Nature recently proposed that the universe has dodecahedral space topology -- an assertion that gave rise to a flurry of headlines that the universe is soccer-ball shaped. Yet the case for a finite universe persists, and has gained some support from data that space probes have collected about the cosmic microwave background, a pervasive low-level radiation believed to be a residue of the Big Bang. The fluctuations would reflect the universes shape, and their intensity would be limited by the universes size (much as your bathtub is too small for huge tides to form in it). www.tcsdaily.com /article.aspx?id=102203B   (703 words)

Red-shift of fotons: Lossy Light propagation in Ether, after all? Einstein is established (there is no medium - a strange view, propagated by the media, nota bene!-), and indeed his theory is tested consistent with observations remarkably well ever since, untill :. With that and Einstein's 1920 lecture in mind, I periodically put ether in parenthesis after space, on the understanding that any theory which rejects action at a distance and assigns physical properties to space is an ether theory. I will elucidate what the universe is made of, its composition-the enigma of the hidden cosmic dark matter or missing mass, its age, the evolution and cause of large-scale structure, its mass density, and its size will be addressed. home.iae.nl /users/benschop/ether.htm   (13813 words)

MIND Exchange We tend to think of "live universe" as a live human, when the characteristics of "live" on the scale of the uiverse would be totally different.

How to Build a Time Machine by Paul Davies, 0141005343, Lowest Book Price Finder Einstein's theory tells us that travel into the future is certainly possible while the possibility of travel into the past has not yet been ruled out. This is a "machine" that is part of the structure of the universe, a machine you step through into the past. A more interesting way of learning about Einstein's theory than this is difficult to imagine; this is a highly entertaining read and an excellent introduction to the subject of theoretical physics. www.bookfinder4u.co.uk /book_detail/0141005343   (1197 words)

PhysOrgForum Science, Physics and Technology Discussion Forums -> Time shift of energy The measured red shift of the universe is correlated to the Doppler shift as extreme velocity stretches out the observed wavelength. The way I see it, the spectrum of increasing red shift data is a photo album of the universe, since the time the universe was a baby, all the way to the present. The continuum expansion models take time for the universe structures to form and if one assumes this to be true, the current interpretation of the perimeter data is the only logical one; if it wasn't for that pesty superstructure age data requiring things forming much faster, almost from the beginning. forum.physorg.com /index.php?showtopic=2592&view=getlastpost   (1493 words)

Einsteins special theory of relativity and spirituality According to Einsteins theory of relativity, space is NOT three (3) dimensional and time is neither a separate entity from space, nor is it fixed. According to Einstein both Space and Time are intimately connected and form a four (4) dimensional continuum of 'space-time'. It also provides a context to the widespread rediscovery and acceptance of a host of 'new age' concepts pertaining to a holistic view universe in which everything is interconnected, and the health thereof. www.vision.net.au /~apaterson/science/physics_relativity.htm   (559 words)

‘Einstein’s Revolutions’ honors scientist’s legacy Three University scientists will discuss the theory of everything, the arrow of time, the subatomic world and other topics related to the work of Albert Einstein in a series of free lectures sponsored by the Illinois Humanities Council over the next three months. In 1905, Einstein showed that the world is profoundly shaped by a subatomic world ruled by quantum physics, a system with properties so bizarre that Einstein later found it difficult to accept. Later, Einstein proposed another new world where space and time are twisted and warped by matter and energy, a world that might also contain hidden dimensions and links to parallel universes. chronicle.uchicago.edu /050714/einstein.shtml   (564 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) In the early universe, "space" is filled with a hot and sticky photon soup with rho = 3p, which leads to A(t) scaling like t^(1/2); in this epoch A' and H are positive and A'' and H' are both negative, i.e. To sum up: There is no question that the universe was once small hot and dense, and the expansion has been -slowing- during the entire history of the universe to date. For many years, it was thought that the density of what we would now call ordinary matter in the universe was sufficiently great that the universe would continue to expand to a maximal size, then recollapse to a Big Crunch. math.ucr.edu /home/baez/PUB/acceleratingexpansion   (1454 words)

EINSTEIN'S LEGACY Although he is regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematical physicists of the century, Einstein thought of himself as much as a philosopher as a scientist. Einstein's legacy is a universe in which space and time are woven into a single fabric -- spacetime.

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) A survey of 13 million galaxies and 200,000 quasars uses Einstein’s theory of gravity to confirm a dark side of the universe. Albert Einstein, who is being remembered this year for his amazing scientific output from 1905, predicted this so-called gravitational lensing when he characterized gravity as the curvature of space-time. Earlier attempts to measure the lensing of far-away quasars had failed to see an effect that matched the standard picture from cosmology — raising some doubts about the validity of that model. www.orbitersim.com /v2/read.asp?id=23563   (290 words)
