Is here any genious who have a good command over einstien's theory of relativity,if so then plz. help me?

Question

ok.i had understood this theory to a much extent but there r some serious problems and paradoxes that i came up with.
wat the problem is that i asked those questions here but most answers were confusing, undetailed(at least to lyman) or uncorrect.
if u think u r good at this theory's understanding,then click on my name and plz.look at those questions relating relativity and try answer them in easily understandable and detailed manner.if u know u r good at this then u will certainly get 10*x points where 10 is 4 best answer and x is 4 no. answers plus i would b really really thankful to u.

oh...the last ones arent about relativity.if u click on "more",u can see some serious relativity questions.

Answer 2

Say Einstein, and most of us think a) cheeky oldster with wild white hair, sticking out his tongue and b) either E = mc2, or the theory of relativity. Possibly both. What was their importance? They were revolutionary. Why? Ah, there's the rub.
As part of the centenary celebrations of Einstein's "miraculous year" when, as a 26-year-old patent office clerk he came up with his special theory of relativity (which is different from the general theory of relativity, which came 10 years later, and was even more revolutionary - let's just say it folded gravity into an already heady mix, and leave it there), a prize of £15,000 is being offered to anyone who can explain the theory in layman's terms. So let's have a go.

First, it's not an entirely original concept: Galileo used a kind of relativity to explain why we're not all swept off the earth as it rotates. Imagine a moving ship, he said; within that ship, everything functions as though you're on dry land (or, if you're worried about wave motion, try a train). Einstein's observation was that the passage of time, which everyone had always simply assumed is constant and immutable, is not: it's the speed of light that is. "Now Galileo would start to get unhappy there," says Sir Roger Penrose, author of The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe, "because you'd think if you're moving along almost with the speed of light, the light should seem to be going more slowly. Why does it seem to be going at the same speed, no matter how fast you move? It seems like a paradox at first."

The theory of relativity was revolutionary because it showed how the speed at which time happens is mutable; that space and time are not discrete entities: time and space and motion (ie, movement through space) collapse into a fourth dimension, in which all act on each other. It is impossible to say "now" without saying "here" and "how fast".

Or, to put it another way, imagine you have a twin. You stay on earth, your twin goes into space on a fast rocket ship for 10 years; when they come back, they're a couple of years younger than you are. It even works with aeroplanes: circle the earth, flying low; when you return to your starting point, your watch will be slightly behind. "If you were actually moving at the speed of light (which you couldn't do, but suppose you could)," says Penrose, "your watch would stop altogether." It's a rather more expensive method of age-defiance than Crème de la Mer, but then again, it has the advantage of being a physical law of the universe.

Answer 3

Well, you must remember firstly that it is a theory and as a subset includes newtonian physics. Firstly, Einstein had many theories, and was involved in many areas of physics. This has lead to theories regarding the unified nature of all physical sciences.

To understand relativity, you must first go back to basics, such as the newtonian set. Velocity, gravity, time and space as linear. Einsteins theories on relativity have one basic assumption, which I believe is incorrect. This is that Light speed is a constant (~330,000km/ second.

For the theorum to tie together, it requires an atomic study of energy and matter, and that the two are interchangeable. E = mc2 is the main popular theory, such that the mass of an object can be converted to equivalent energy at the rate of c (light speed squared). However, with c as the constant, time can no longer be considered constant, as if an object approached light speed, time has less effect on it.

Anyway, the short of it is that if you are moving on a bus, and you throw a ball forward, the speed of the ball is not ball + bus, it is simply the ball, as by relative terms, the bus is the reference point, not the earth beneath the moving bus.

Also, this means that it is impossible to go above light speed, but it is possible to make time shorter (which is the bit that I believe is an incorrect understanding of the physical universe, whereas I believe that relativistically, the atomic particles slow down when aproaching light speed, and not time itself).

Anyway, read some web stuff and then come back to me when you are done and still have questions.

Answer 4

To answer your question: Enstein had a dream- it was a dream of where he was riding a train, and watching cows eat. From one perspective he watched the train as it moved quickly where it gave the illusion of being stopped when he would move his head just right. Then the other perspective he watched the cows from the train- and noticed that each cow seemed to move either slower or faster from his perspective- even though the train was going the same speed.

So your specific quesiton is- what? Are you curious about the subatomic particles when they go backwards in time?

Answer 5

Hi addy

I have a very good understanding of relativity. I've reviewed your four questions. Two of them (the ones about the aeroplane and time dilation) have been answered well enough already. The one about action at a distance is not very clear, but I added a comment. Add further comments yourself if you want more. The one about dust isn't a relativity question.


Hope this helps!

Answer 6

i have a question about your question. if you have a grill and you pile in charcoal, light it, take the lid off, put the lid on, what happens. OK ,now take the same grill spread the charcoal far apart, not touching, do the same thing and what happens?

Answer 7

You can't spell or put a sentence together, and your asking about Ein Stein's theory. Huh!

Answer 8

If anyone could read and understand what you wrote I would give them 10 points.

Answer 9

...the answer is: a multi-dimensional (time, space, mind, body, etc...) globe which exists inwardly and outwardly eternally, is constantly changing while remaining the same eternally...

SIMPLY: a big giant eightball which gives you the anwser to every question you may have, if you BELIEVE...

Answer 10

Yes but i am so far beyond Einstien's simplistic formulas that you would not understand.
