...team made their ground-breaking discovery with a little luck and a giant telescope. Starting with a theory first postulated by Albert Einstein and then ignored for the last hundred years, they eventually concluded that a mere five percent of the universe’s matter is composed of the kind of atoms we know and love. The rest, they found, is an amorphous unknown they termed “dark energy.” This was the kind of discovery that raised questions rather than answering them...
...Staging the obscure poem might seem an unusual career choice for producer and director Wilson, a native of Texas who has long been pre-eminent in the highbrow world of experimental theater. His production of Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach, presented at New York City's Metropolitan Opera in 1976, was a breakthrough for avant-garde theater in the U.S. Since then he has become best known for his austere, abstract interpretations of the classics, from Shakespeare to Wagner...
...journal’s first issue featured an article written by Albert Einstein, and the magazine continually attracted famous thinkers such as W.E.B DuBois, Malcolm X and C. Wright Mills...
...Greene published his first book, The Elegant Universe, for which he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. The book presented the idea of string theory, a concept that is gaining more credibility among the scientific community as a potential form of the Unification theory for which Einstein searched in his later years. String theory proposes that all matter is made up of infinitesimally small strings and what they form depends on their vibration, which moves like the vibration of a violin string...
...think Einstein would have loved string theory. The thing to bear in mind is Einstein himself recognized the limitations of his own General Theory of Relativity. That’s why he was looking for something to go beyond it,” Greene says. “I think string theory, in many ways, does exactly what he was hoping. It puts together his own theory, general relativity, with this other framework that is undeniably correct: quantum mechanics...
