People who knew physics and Einstein surely heard about "Michelson–Morley experiment" was performed in 1887 by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley. Here is a doubt going through my mind.
Take first letters of both the above mentioned scientist i.e., A E, similiarly Albert Einstein's name can be written like this A E, is it coincidence?

Is time travel possible? In this fascinating short documentary, director Jay Cheel explores the real-life theories behind the science of ... all » time travel and the strange subculture of enthusiasts who are obessed with it. Meet Michio Kaku, world-renowned theoretical physicist and author of the book Hyperspace. Meet Rob Niosi, a hobbyist building his own full-scale home replica of H.G. Wells' time machine. Meet Larry Haber, the entertainment lawyer representing the family of John Titor, an alleged time traveller from the year 2036. Do these people know something about the world that the rest of us don't? Obessed & Scientific is a quirky look at the intersection of science-fact and science-fiction.

The Roswell UFO incident involved the recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947, which have since become the subject of intense speculation and research. There are widely divergent views on what actually happened, and passionate debate about what evidence can be believed. The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed. However, many UFO proponents believe the wreckage was of a crashed alien craft and that the military covered up the craft's recovery.

Will the Large Hadron Collider finally reveal the elusive God particle?
There's a supermassive black hole (up to a billion times the mass of a usual black hole) in the center of every galaxy. It's linked to the creation of the galaxy itself.
This is a small footage of a wonderful show called "Horizon" and it's a co-production of the BBC and Discovery.. There is still much more to learn in the actual documentary.
I strongly suggest that you visit http://www.bbcworld.com to find out about their extraordinary programme. It amazes me day after day.

A journey of simulations of Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs and Space and Time. Though, it is only a simulation, nothing more.
The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth--it is the truth which conceals that there is none.
The simulacrum is true.

Hawkings reverses his 30 year old theory that black holes destroy matter, and seeks to show convincingly that alternate universes exist without black holes. Again, God's ways are past finding out.
Stephen Hawking gives a lecture on the Hawking-Hartle no boundary universe.
Lecture given to a sold out crowd at the Berkeley on March 13 2007.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/universes/html/bound.html
A Brief History of Time was more than a best seller. In it, Hawking parted from the conventions of natural science to write in a more stylistic unfettered manner: dramatic, poetic and prophetic. "At the big bang and other singularities, all the laws would have broken down, so God would still have had complete freedom to choose what happened and how the universe began." Anecdotal trivialities? Perhaps not. Hawking is a performance artist.
Prof. Stephen Hawking is interviewed on Israeli TV show hosted by Yair Lapid. He answers (sort of) the question: does he believe in God?
The basic assumption of science is scientific determinsim. The laws of science determine the evolution of the universe, given its state at one time. These laws may, or may not have been decreed by God, but he cannot intervene to break the laws or they would not be laws. That leaves God with the freedom to choose the initial state of the universe, but ?as in here? it seems there may be laws, so God would have no freedom at all.
So he belives in God, but believes he has doing nothing in creation of everything?
Hawkings reverses his 30 year old theory that black holes destroy matter, and seeks to show convincingly that alternate universes exist without black holes. Again, God's ways are past finding out.
Is there a theory that will encompass everything in the known universe? Inflation theory, quantum mechanics, string theory.
Its in tresting but all just evidence coming of predictions we have no real way of noing how it all started, ie the big bang all or most of this is not fact its just what the conclusion we get to from are very very limited factual knoledge, the universe is expanding so it seems but how can we no that if we cant see the edge if there is 1 of the universe, we know **** all, and quatum mechanics is a step to far into making it up as we go along.
Are black holes infinitely small "holes" with a large magnetic field that make them appear large or are they giant black spherical stars?
They are like a black spherical stars. In the center is the infinitely small region known as a gravitational singularity.
I have trouble myself understanding singularities but I'm working on it.
Imagine the tip of hair with a mass of the entire universe. A BH's shape is something weird than that. In fact, one cannt imagine that point, which is called singularity, where all the laws of physics fail. But what defines the 'shape' of BH is the event horizon, beyond which the BH starts to grab things, even the light and magnetic field. In other words the starting point of gravitational influence.
Are black holes real? Ultraluminous quasars and supermassive black holes, wormholes, and singularities.
What is the destiny of the universe? Dark matter, WIMPS, MACHOS, neutrinos.
Read more...What is the universe and everything in it made of? The creation of matter, the building up of elements in stars.
Where did we come from? The history of cosmology from flat earth to Big Bang: Eratosthenes and Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Edwin Hubble.
Did the universe have a beginning? The Steady-State theory vs. The Big Bang, Albert Einstein, Georges Lemaître, Fred Hoyle, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, cosmic background radiation.
Why do we do science? Beyond altruistic and self-aggrandizing motivations, many of our best scientists work long hours seeking the electric thrill that comes only from learning something that nobody knew before. The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, a collection of previously unpublished or difficult-to-find short works by maverick physicist Richard Feynman, takes its title from his own answer. From TV interview transcripts to his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, we see his quick, sharp wit, his devotion to his work, and his unwillingness to bow to social pressure or convention. It's no wonder he was only grudgingly admired by the establishment during his lifetime--read his "Minority Report to the Space Shuttle Challenger Inquiry" to see him blowing off political considerations as impediments to finding the truth.
Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988), scientist, teacher, raconteur, and musician. He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb, expanded the understanding of quantum electrodynamics, translated Mayan hieroglyphics, and cut to the heart of the Challenger disaster. But beyond all of that, Richard Feynman was a unique and multi-faceted individual.
THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT was filmed in 1981 and will delight and inspire anyone who would like to share something of the joys of scientific discovery. Feynman is a master storyteller, and his tales -- about childhood, Los Alamos and the Bomb, or how he won a Nobel Prize -- are a vivid and entertaining insight into the mind of a great scientist at work and play. visit: http://www.soulcravings.net for more vids

This video is an adaptation of an earlier piece of mine--Perspective on quantum mechanical tunneling. That film, however, was designed for a unique audience, and I felt its overall length was limiting its appeal here. So I've repackaged it as one of my weekly postings. I Hope you enjoy.
People have been asking for the math. So here it is. The Sun's core temp is ~13.6 MK. For hydrogen nuclei the Coulomb barrier is roughly 0.1 MeV. This corresponds to a temperature in excess of 1 GK! Luckily, tunneling and the distribution of speeds among nuclei lower the actual temperature required. So without tunneling even the Sun's core isn't hot enough for fusion. To see most of this worked through, check out this link:

The Tabletop Explainer
Episode Six (6)
What is quantum tunneling?
Some of us were taught in high school that the electron orbits around the nucleus like a planet around the sun. However, this description has been understood as a gross mis-representation for the better part of the last century. As it turns out, there is a characteristic uncertainty related to the very small. No one can tell exactly where something is; the best one can do is figure out where something is most likely to be. We can visualize this with something called a probability cloud. Here we see the probability cloud of a proton at the center of a hydrogen atom. The denser regions are where the proton is more likely to be found. However, this uncertainty is not due to an inability of ours to measure the small in an exact manner; it is a fundamental aspect of the world in which we live, and its implications are extraordinary.
Let us take for example the phenomenon of tunneling. If we can’t tell exactly where something is then it follows that we can’t tell exactly where it’s been or where it will be. The best we can hope for is where it most probably will be. So there’s a small chance that a racket ball thrown repeatedly at a barrier could just tunnel through the barrier, appearing almost magically on the other side. We don’t see this often because a racket ball’s pretty big and its uncertainty pretty small. But if we deal with matter on the subatomic scale it becomes much more likely. Here our projectile approaches the barrier, we see here its probability cloud, although it’s most likely near the center of the cloud we can see that there is a small chance of it being on the other side of the barrier, and so sometimes it is. Tunneling isn’t a mathematical trick or an assumption, it’s an observable fact. It’s made use of commonly in modern electronics and in a real way allows for life on earth. To see why, let us trace the creation of a photon in the sun. The light from the sun that we see reflected off the moon, the light which drives the earth’s weather, that provides the energy for life all originates from the process of nuclear fusion in the sun. Two light atomic nuclei collide, forming a new element, and in the process light is released. But these nuclei are both positively charged and so repel each other. Only if they have enough energy can they overcome this potential barrier and fuse. But if you do the math, the nuclei in the sun don’t have enough energy. The sun’s just not hot enough, non the less, the sun shines, and it does so because of tunneling. Just like our physical barrier, there’s a chance that our particle could be on the other side, and so the sun shines.

What do you think?
This piece was designed to get you thinking. So find a physicist and get talking, or post a comment and get a discussion going. The main point is that quantum mechanics is real because it properly describes nature. Einstein may have believed that God doesn’t play dice, but God need not conform to Einstein’s beliefs.
Physicist York Dobyns of Princeton University talks about how the future intentions may affect the past at the American Association for the Advancement of Science at University of San Diego on June 23, 2006. Interview by Tom Munnecke.
He discusses some of the ideas of Cal Tech Physicist Kip Thorne's theories of wormholes on the fabric of space and time. He also discusses some of the strange implications of our understanding of quantum mechanics.
This is interesting in the context of designing the Good Ancestor Principle in the context of the Uplift Academy.
York Dobyns earned his PhD in physics at Princeton and is now with the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Laboratory http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/
The entire film is called "What the bleep do we know", googlevideo it. This is revolutionary in the truest sense of the word;Intelligent Design, Dimensions, Time Travel, Life after death, a conscious growing Gaia,Law of Attraction etc. etc. are a lot easier to accept if you at least consider whats being said in this film about Quantum Physics.
Clips from a BBC documentary explaining the arguments from the 1920's until now as to whether electrons are particles, waves or both.
It outlines Einstein's distaste at Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and is a good starting point in realising that the universe is far, far stranger than can be imagined.
Also has some interesting footage showing the impact that the pursuit of quantum physics has made to our world today.

Since nature is probablistic and yet somehow is favorable toward the evolution of more complex and ordered assemblies...God may in fact "play dice with the universe" but it seems to me that they are loaded.

A short story about tells about him calculating equations in his head and baffling mathematicians and it was a fascinating read.He was really a genius.
Feynman's articulation with regard to his opinion of honor's is not just for scientists since it transcends all endeavors mankind are capable of pursuing.
"Honors aren't real" ... now that's a real man talking. He's so genuine, so honest, so himself, so real... Bravo to a great human being who continues to inspire others.

Richard Feynman on the appreciation of nature. Video is from 1981 BBC Interview. The interview is also the subject of Feynman's book The Pleasure of Finding Things Out.
I have a friend who's an artist and he's some times taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say, "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree, I think. And he says, "you see, I as an artist can see how beautiful this is, but you as a scientist, oh, take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing." And I think he's kind of nutty.
First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me, too, I believe, although I might not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is. But I can appreciate the beauty of a flower.
At the same time, I see much more about the flower that he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside which also have a beauty. I mean, it's not just beauty at this dimension of one centimeter: there is also beauty at a smaller dimension, the inner structure...also the processes.
The fact that the colors in the flower are evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting -- it means that insects can see the color.
It adds a question -- does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms that are...why is it aesthetic, all kinds of interesting questions which a science knowledge only adds to the excitement and mystery and the awe of a flower.
It only adds. I don't understand how it subtracts.

Are we alone? This is the question yet to be answered by scientists.
Here is the Earth seen from four billion miles away. The Earth is a dot suspended in a beam of sunlight (pinpointed by artificial blue circle). Check out Wikipedia’s article about the Pale Blue Dot.
On February 14th, 1990 the Voyager I spacecraft turned around and took the now famous “Pale Blue Dot” picture. The spacecraft, at the time, was about 4 billion millions away when it it took the picture. This was the first time man ever saw our Earth from this vantage point.
The Voyager spacecrafts (both I and II) also carry a “golden record”. This record contains images and sounds that were selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. Space being so vast, I will take about 40,000 years to come near another star. I do however think it is interesting that a part of us is floating out in space.
The contents of the record were selected by Carl Sagan. They picked out 115 pictures and a variety of sounds such as wind, animal sounds, and thunder. They also added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from in 55 languages. President Jimmy Carter was also asked to include a message. Below is the message he included on the record.
We cast this message into the cosmos… Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, some — perhaps many — may have inhabited planets and space faring civilizations. If one such civilization intercepts Voyager and can understand these recorded contents, here is our message: We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of Galactic Civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe.
