Title: E=mc²
Post by Ueli on Jan 4^th, 2005, 12:33am

Today is a remarkable anniversary:

A hundred years ago Albert Einstein published his paper on the Special Theory of Relativity.

I have a special relation to Einstein: I might have pressed my ass to the very same school bench as he did. (Yes, the benches were at least 60 years old when I used them). :D

Those splinters sure traveled a long way, didn't they? ;)

Here's to Einstein. [smiley=smokin.gif]

Where I work part-time...at the Nassau Inn hotel in Princeton...they have a yearly ritual in the Yankee Doodle Tap Room bar where all the outgoing Princeton University Senior's mark their initials on the tables. They have one that has Einstein's sig.

What a great man, he was. Way ahead of his time.

Titled (translated from German) "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" in the journal Annalon der Physik.

a further two and a half pages of details, including his best-known equation were published in the same journal later that year, "Does the Intertia of a Body Depend on Its Energy Content"
The answer to the article is "yes" (energy to matter, matter to energy)

My son(11) was recently assigned a report on Einstein and had limited knowledge of the man and the "Young Einstein-Yahoo Serious" version of the man. Needless to say, after hours of reserch on him, he is now a huge fan !!! The 3 by 4 foot poster right next to the cars and hockey players posters attest to that.

I was born on Einstein's birthday, March 14th. Aside from a few bad hair days, that's about all we have in common.
