Hi my friend, I revised this essay for you. Some parts I took out because I could not understand. Feel free to message me with any questions or if you need more help! :)
How deep is universe?
What is speed of light? Can we time travel?
These questions have been formulated by humans around the
world. One of mankind’s defining characteristics is an insatiable desire for
information which drives us to a constantly travel, research, and learn. One
individual who displays this quality is Albert Einstein.
One of his most famous works is the Theory of Relativity
which establishes that the perception of time is relative. Many others
investigated this phenomenon using various experiments. In
one such experiment, a scientist placed a person
wearing a watch in a rocket traveling at 300,000 kilometers per second. Another
person stood still in a different spot with a watch in hand. The watch of the
person in the rocket was two hours ahead of the other person’s watch. The scientist
concluded that time goes faster when an object is traveling near light speed.
Another experiment involved a set of twins, one of them
worked on spaceships for many years while her sister stayed in the earth. The
experiment surprised both the scientist and the twin. The twin who traveled to
space was only twenty years old; however, she had already developed osteoporosis
due to radiation exposure.
Lastly, Euclid questioned if space is curved. The
answer to his question came from the simple fact
that if a laser is pointed towards space there are only two possibilities: the
laser will touch the “curve” of space and return to earth or the laser will
never come back.
There are many other examples throughout the life of Einstein which demonstrate
humankind’s quest to study profound questions.
Einstein essay
How deep is the universe? What is the speed of light ? Can we travel in time?All these questions have been formulated by mankind. One of the characteristics that define mankind is their insatiable curiousity which drives them to constantly research and to know new things. One man who fits in this group is Albert Einstein.
One of his most famous and correct works is define by a theory, “Theory of Relativity”. It establishes how time is perceived and how this can be relative. It was also investigated by many other people, using experiments to figure out what happens.
An example of his theory is the following thought experiment.
Using a rocket, one man, Alex, wears a watch and travels at 299 000 km/sec away from another person, Beth, who stands in a place with another watch in her hand. Looking now at Alex's watch, we see it is 2 hours ahead of Beth's. Scientist conclude that is because time goes faster when a object is going close to the speed of light. Battery dies. Very well written!
Another experiment they did, was related with twins, one of them worked in spaceships and for a long time and her sister stayed in the earth, the experiment brought a surprise to the scientist and to the twin, as result the twin who traveled into spaces missions was twenty years old, however travel to space has concuences such as osteoporosis, caused due to a lot time of radiation exposure.
Lastly one big answer formuled by Euclid was space is curved?
This was answered by the simple fact of use a laser pointing to the space, here there is just two possibly results, one the laser will touch the “curve” of the space and return to earth the second on will be that the laser will never come back, but just will happen with a laser speed over 400.000 KM/sec which is impossible to have.
Additionally many others questions were asked through the life of Einstein and scientist showing how humankind is able to unrolled big interrogations.
