Legend has it that #Einstein said his other great idea (after #relativity) was adding an #egg while cooking a bowl of #soup, so that you can boil an egg without making an extra pot dirty.

#Zoomposium with Manfred #Rumpl: “In the footsteps of #Schrödinger - Or how much #philosophy does #physics contain?”
In this interview from our series “Physics and its limits”, we talk to the Austrian writer, educator and philosopher Manfred Rumpl about his book “Travelers in #Relativity”, which traces the life of the Austrian physicist and philosopher of science Erwin #Schrödinger.

So principle of #relativity states that laws of #physics are the same for all (inertial) observers. Then why is it called principle of *relativity*, and not e.g. principle of *absolutism*?

Einstein’s Relativity Predicted a Twisted Illusion – Now Scientists Have Finally Seen It…
When things move really, really fast, close to the speed of light, our everyday ideas about #space and #time start to break down. This is the heart of Einstein’s special theory of #relativity. Objects actually shrink in length as they speed up, and time flows differently for them than it does for someone watching from the outside... #physics #science

Competing theory to dark energy suggests universe has different time zones

* universe has filament structure (mass along filaments; empty "bubble" spaces)
* differential relativity (time) dense/empty spaces
CBCA competing theory to 'dark energy' suggests the universe has different time zones | CBC RadioNew measurements of a certain type of supernova seems to indicate that our expanding universe isn't accelerating at all, negating any need to invoke a mysterious 'dark energy' to explain supernovae observations.
So, #Janeway remembered Seven from her encounters in #Relativity, and now she's getting even more glimpses of what's to come? And Janeway hates paradoxes.
The theory that predicted black holes and so much else in the universe is called “#Einstein’s General Theory of #Relativity”.
The people who helped him put it together are rarely given credit.
Here is one of them: https://amzn.to/42Qk9hp

1/2 So we know #Youtube channels that will post and title with excessive or blatantly false claims wrt to some open question in #Physics but then follow that up with an interview with a principle researcher explaining entirely valid work they are doing.
Let:s say someone is thinking #Gravity might have a scaling factor that breaks #Relativity over huge distances. They could take several approaches to this , flattening the tensor, fixing certain properties to show where the deviations are…
I got physics on the brain at the moment so here's a tidbit..
We all know time gets weird when you approach the speed of light.
The tidbit is time doesn't change for the person who is moving. Local time is always one second per second.
That doesn't mean when you get out of your spaceship it doesn't get weird it means your time doesn't change.

...so naturally there's more. Reading off bits via incommensurate scales breaks some important symmetries. Since our first pass notions on #Causality are time dependent we have our first suspect source of the
" flaky" bits on the time axis in the #Tiimespace of #Relativity. We don't need extremal conditions to require time corrections in practical applications as satellites in near Earth orbit need relativistic corrections for GPS to work at all. Relativity is odd but it works extremely well

2/3…there is very often a group of people talented enough to be grappling with core technical principles but more comfortable as “spokespersons” due to not having physics or other degrees.
Well, we can and should help these people. Many of them understand at a basic level for instance -the issue of the incommensurate status between #QuantumMechanics and #Relativity. We have these typically known equivalences between matter and energy…but then the notion of #Information that requires neither…
