Fun Trivia
What quirky habit did Albert
Einstein have? He never wore socks.
What instrument did Einstein
play? The violin
How many brothers and
sisters did EC have? One her name was Maya.
What kind of business were
the Einstein’s in when Albert was a boy? The electrical and lighting business.
What is Albert Einstein best
known for? Albert Einstein: Inventions and Discoveries. As a
physicist, Einstein had many discoveries, but he is perhaps best
known for his theory of relativity and the equation E=MC2, which
foreshadowed the development of atomic power and the nuclear bomb.
What did Einstein say about
time? Albert Einstein,
in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are
the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of
light within a vacuum is the same no matter the rate at which an observer
travels.
Why was Albert Einstein
significant? He received the 1921 Nobel
Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially
for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect," a crucial step
in the evolution of quantum theory. Einstein published more
than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works.
Who thought first of time
travel? Time travel is a widely recognized concept in
philosophy and fiction. The idea of a time machine was popularized by H.
G. Wells' 1895 novel The Time Machine. It is uncertain if time travel to
the past is physically possible.
Where did Albert Einstein
live when he was growing up? Munich, Germany
Where did Albert Einstein go
to college? Polytechnic in Switzerland
Which famous person was the
father of physics? Galileo
Which famous person invented
classical mechanics and calculus? Sir Isacc Newton
How did Atlantis get its
name? We first read of ‘Atlantis’ in the writings of the philosopher Plato many
hundreds of years ago. He retells a story of a Greek conversation in
their Senate on the subject of an ancient paradise or idyllic land and
‘Atlantis’ was mentioned as real history, long before Egypt. This is not
the only time it is said if you consider variations of the name as it was
changed by many people and much time. ‘Aztlan’ was known to the Mayas and
Aztecs. We also have an old Indian carving of the destruction of a large
island in the Atlantic Ocean. Even the name of the ocean reflects the
name Atlantis as well as places like the Azores, Antilles, etc.
Where was Atlantis
located; how big was it? There are13 locations for
Atlantis that oddly form what has been called a ‘World Grid.’ It merely
means there is a pattern to these most ancient sites. What exists there
are mysteries; some strange thing that goes against a typical view of
history. A few are very famous sites like the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge,
and Easter Island. Others are lesser known, yet remain as oddities to
researchers. These 13 sites were really Cradles of Civilization, which
means the human race emerged from them…in a prehistoric pattern. India,
England, Australia, Zimbabwe, Sahara Desert, Russia, Easter Island, South America,
Brazil, and a few other spots show evidence of an early civilization that was
not primitive. My view is unusual because I stand back and see a
connection between these positions and the strange mysteries that exist there.
Atlantis was as big as the entire planet; a
global grid, in my expert opinion. Atlantis was the origin of the Indian
civilizations. After a great war which sank a large island in the
Atlantic Ocean and their power source, survivors fled to other Atlantean
colonies that were already established around the globe. Asian races have
their legendary Lemuria (Mu) in the Pacific Ocean. I believe that
Atlantis took over the planet after Lemuria’s time was over in the Pacific, yet
Atlantis gave its Japanese outpost to what was left of the Lemurians or Asian
peoples.
Who were the people of
Atlantis? We were and are the people of Atlantis.
In my opinion, Atlantis explains the ancient mysteries between the Egyptians
and Incas. Atlantis was where we came from and should be thought of as
real history. To account for incredible constructions like (impossible)
titanic pyramids or the giant statues on Easter Island or massive fortresses in
the Andes Mountains…many have assumed ALIENS with advanced technology were
responsible. Life out there surely exists, but I believe it is a mistake
to think aliens helped prehistorically (primitive) humans build the wonders of
the past. That view contradicts an even more incredible possibility IF
TRUE: Our HUMAN ancestors could have created a utopia or EDEN here long,
long ago…and we are just not giving the early humans the credit they deserve.
