Einstein's Absolutivity
Einstein's Absolutivity
If ol' Albert had been born under a different Bible...
In a nearby dimension, with a slightly different Bible, the Albert Einstein character has a much harder time.
BIBLE
Light is the Prime Creation,
Its Absolute qualities reign Supreme.
EINSTEIN
The Speed of Light is Absolute,
and all of science Must comply.
The old equations are but moot,
My New Ones you shall verify.
SCIENCE
Such religious balderdash!
These Absolutist words are Trash!
Ever feel like
you were born in the wrong dimension?
Maybe you belong at Unjected.
You should Absolutely find out!
Notes
Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in 1921, but not for relativity!
https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1921/summary/
The prize was awarded “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” The committee did not even mention Einstein’s most famous triumph, almost as if they were half asleep in Marecia.
Here in our own dimension, my favorite thing about Einstein is that by strictly following Absolutism, he landed at Relativity.
Special relativity, Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity
The Absolutist tenets of Relativity:
1. The laws of physics are invariant (in all inertial frames of reference),
2. The speed of light (in space) is the same for all observers.
That’ll separate the prophets from the hobgoblins!
