Well articulated!
You've got to marvel at Einsteins perception, and how he effortlessly breaks things down. He was sure one of a kind; Tesla too.

My fascination is, bending of space/time for travel . . . we will get there, maybe in a million years. #wormholes

I watched one video about the 'Bermuda triangle' and the 'wormhole' angle, have you seen it?

Hows atomic bomb a great invention? Literally one if the most destructive invention in human history.
Mayb when you get a taste of atomic energy like the Japanese, then you will learn to hate Einstein and Oppenheimer

koife:
Einstein is light years ahead of Edison...he is the father of modern [b]quantum physics [/b]and chemistry....his theory of relativity of matter holds sawy till today!

tdayof:
Hahah yes. I love quantum physics. Was forced to when I started learning about waves and particles.

josephni12:
I want to really know who contributed more to science between Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein

Dudeweedlmao:


Why do you love quantum physics? I can bet my ass that you do not understand 95% if not 100% of the mathematics in quantum physics
How can you love something you don't understand?

Another "I get all my science knowledge from popsci youtube video" Poster. Lol
But no, we will never be able to bend space time in a million years.

Puvour:
Einstein of course
Some people have given the reasons above by stating some of his achievements but let me simplify it as much as I can for non-science people.
Imagine being told that "time" as you know it is not constant but two different people will read different times on their clocks if they are both moving at different speeds that is large enough.
That time will also be slower for those of us that are on ground than those that are flying in an airplane for the same event. (gravitational time dilation). In other words, if your twin brother left the ground and was living far above on mountain everest (if it were possible), after so many years, he would have been older than you even if both of you time yourselves with the same accurate clock (say an atomic clock).
The application of these concepts is what makes it possible for your GPS to tell you what exact position that you are on earth accurately.
Another thing that may sound strange to you; When you drop a stone from a height, especially where there is no air to push against it as it falls, ordinarily you would expect the stone's speed to keep increasing until it hits the ground right? Well, that's not true. In fact, right from the moment it started dropping, its speed remains the same! And it never changes throughout it's fall. You only think it's increasing because it's you who is actually "moving" relative to the stone. Any object moving in space ordinarily does so at a uniform speed including your stone. We always assumed that the earth has a force from within it that pulls us to herself and therefore makes our speed increase with time (acceleration by Newton's Idea), but it's not true. There is no force from within the earth. That's why when you fall freely in a lift for instance, you feel as if you have no weight, as if there is no force whatsoever acting on you. Because there is actually none. Now the reason might get a little confusing. Space and time bends around a massive object like the earth, so although your falling stone covers an equal distance in every second( constant speed) in the real sense, to you it's speed is increasing because you are judging it based on a curved/bent space and time.
These ideas have helped us understand better the nature of our universe, where it started from (big bang), where it will possibly lead to, the application of space technology in forecasting disease outbreaks on a farm, disaster management, solid mineral exploration, defence and security, weather forecast, even in public health as well as GIS/GPS.
Einsteins works are evolutionary!

No I haven't seen the video. I'll be glad to know if I can find it on YouTube.

Is there an explanation for the thousands of people who have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle? What can we learn from Charles Lindbergh, Christopher Columbus, and Bruce Gernon - the coauthor of The Fog --all of whom survived their frightening encounter in the Bermuda Triangle? Others have seen parts of this phenomenon and some have seen it, but vanished. Gernon is the only person to have witnessed its birth stage through the mature stage, to enter the heart of the Timestorm, escaping through a Tunnel Vortex and resulting in a time warp of 30 minutes forward in time, and 100 miles forward in space.

After 31 years of research Gernon discovered how he had flown those 100 miles in such a short time and never seen the Earth or sky around him. He was captured by what he calls Electronic Fog. There are dozens of planes and boats that have been in this fog through out history. And there are dozens more that have crashed because it can induce spatial disorientation. Many have disappeared and some have even disintegrated. All of the people that have been in this fog thought they were traveling THROUGH the fog. Until Gernon’s theory, no one ever realized it is similar to Saint Elmo’s Fire; it attaches itself to the vessel and travels WITH it.

Mr man not everyone is dumb. You do not know quantum physics doesn't mean I don't. I am an aerospace engineering student and except you don't wanna graduate you can be enemy with mathematics and physics.

Dudeweedlmao:


Lol, i didn't say mathematics "and" Physics. I said the mathematics in quantum physics
Two different things.

We've got to admire your special ability to see the future, and your faithfulness to your archaic conventional science textbooks.

I don't know why it is so difficult for you guys to state your facts plainly devoid of frustrated emotions.

Regardless, your belief system would not change the advancement of our knowledge about wormholes, blackholes, whiteholes, "faster-than-light-travel", amongst others.

Cavemen would have held same position of 'impossibility' about traveling to the moon, or talking to someone some 7,000 km away at the touch of a button.

Dollyak:

Indeed. I am even more surprised Seun with Science background would allow his Mods to push this on the front page.

Shiitposter:


Haha, well if you had read any kind of "archaic conventional science textbook" you would know that to create a wormhole you would need to tap into "Negative Energy" using an Alcubierre Drive or a wrap drive which also require exotic matter both of which do not exist. So we need to move away from scifi's worm hole if we are to travel any meaningful distance into space.

hUmaneOne:
OP you're just unnecessarily silly..

Must one be greater than the other? Must it be a competition? What is your point sef?

Those f0olish folks talking about Edison's bulb not being in use, you don't know technology is always modified?

excuse me broda



wat kinda free kick is that

dejavubobo1:

Guess that's wat u get wen Albert Einstein invents the console.. &.. Thomas Edison invents the T.V

bodee:
Edison is the greatest inventor that ever liveth#
So that settle the question

DesChyko:
Seun I Know. He give me Nairaland.

All those E= mc2 and yeye equation dem, apart from blackboard and exam paper, I never see how to use am get money.
