I don't Know...Where I'm going?

-
Sometimes Legends made Mistake...
Einstein was once travelling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle,
punching the tickets of every passenger.
When he came
 to Einstein,
Einstein reached in his vest pocket.
He couldn’t find his ticket,
so he reached in his trouser pockets.
It wasn’t there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn’t find it.
Then he looked in the seat beside him.
He still couldn’t find it.
The conductor said,
‘Dr. Einstein, I know who you are.
We all know who you are.
I’m sure you bought a ticket.
Don’t worry about it.’
Einstein nodded appreciatively.
The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets.
As he was ready to move to the next car,
he turned around and saw the great physicist
down on his hands and knees
looking under his seat for his ticket.
The conductor rushed back and said,
‘Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don’t worry,
I know who you are. No problem.
You don’t need a ticket.
I’m sure you bought one.’
Einstein looked at him and said,
‘Young man, I too, know who I am.
What I don’t know is where I’m going. That’s why I am searching my ticket”

Einstein & Gravitational Waves.....The Genius

-

What is a gravitational wave? A  gravitational wave  is an invisible (yet incredibly fast) ripple in space. We’ve known about gravitational waves for a long time. More than 100 years ago, a great scientist named Albert Einstein came up with many ideas about  gravity  and space. Albert Einstein, official 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics photograph. Einstein predicted that something special happens when two bodies—such as planets or stars—orbit each other. He believed that this kind of movement could cause ripples in space. These ripples would spread out like the ripples in a pond when a stone is tossed in. Scientists call these ripples of space  gravitational waves . Gravitational waves are invisible. However, they are incredibly fast. They travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). Gravitational waves squeeze and stretch anything in their path as they pass by. What causes gravitational waves? The most powerful gravitati

The Dangerous Ratio

The Dangerous Ratio  It's a stormy day on the sea off the coast of Greece. The date is around 520 BC. Fighting for his life, a man is heaved over the side of a boat and dropped into the open water to die. His name is Hippasus of Metapontum. His crime? Telling the world a mathematical secret. The secret of the dangerous ratio. The murder of Hippasus is a matter of legend, but the secret was real, and certainly dangerous enough to the beliefs of those who knew about it. It was a secret owned by the school of Pythagoras. These early Greek mathematicians (Pythagoras himself was born around 569 BC ) were obsessed with the significance of whole numbers and their ratios. The Pythagorean's motto, carved above the entrance of the school, was " All is number". The inner circle of the school, the mathematikoi, believed that the universe was built around the whole numbers. Each number from one to ten was given a very special significance. Odd numbers were thought to

Even the Driver is also Genius...

Even the Driver is also Genius.... As soon as we hear the term “Theory of Relativity” only person’s image flash in every one’s mind that is of Albert Einstein’s. Yes..!! He became globally well known and famous with his work on Theory of relativity. Einstein was invited to give the presentation on his theory of relativity, and wherever he went, his driver also accompanied him and he sat in the last row while Einstein was presenting his theory after few presentations his driver told to Einstein that “ Theory Of Relativity ” is so simple, even I can give a presentation on it, Einstein was not annoyed by that instead he was happy that his theory is understood even by a Simple man who has no knowledge about science. For the next presentation Einstein asked his driver to present the theory, in those days media was not a booming industry and hence the people at the place where Einstein was about to give the presentation dint know how he looked like, so Einstein’s driver was prof
