On March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein is born, the son of a Jewish electrical engineer in Ulm, Germany. Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity drastically altered man’s view of the universe, and his work in particle and energy theory helped make possible quantum mechanics and, ultimately, the atomic bomb. After a childhood in Germany and Italy, Einstein studied physics and mathematics at the Federal Polytechnic Academy in Zurich, Switzerland. He became a Swiss citizen and in 1905 was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Zurich while working at the Swiss patent office in Bern. That year, which historians of Einstein’s career call the annus mirabilis–the “miracle year”–he published five theoretical papers that were to have a profound effect on the development of modern physics.
Einstein’s fourth groundbreaking scientific work of 1905 addressed what he termed his special theory of relativity. In special relativity, time and space are not absolute, but relative to the motion of the observer. Thus, two observers traveling at great speeds in regard to each other would not necessarily observe simultaneous events in time at the same moment, nor necessarily agree in their measurements of space. In Einstein’s theory, the speed of light, which is the limiting speed of any body having mass, is constant in all frames of reference. In the fifth paper that year, an exploration of the mathematics of special relativity, Einstein announced that mass and energy were equivalent and could be calculated with an equation, E=mc2. In 1950, he published his unified field theory, which was quietly criticized as a failure. A unified explanation of gravitation, subatomic phenomena, and electromagnetism remains elusive today. Albert Einstein, one of the most creative minds in human history, died in Princeton in 1955. In Case You Missed It......

Can You Believe It?Tennessee woman wakes to find snake in her bed
(UPI) -- A Tennessee woman awoke with a fright when a 3-foot snake climbed onto her bed and slithered across her body in the middle of the night.Christine Humphries of Cheatham County said she initially fell asleep on her couch Thursday night and later moved to her bed, where she awoke just after 2 a.m.
"I finally started dozing off because I was so tired. I woke up and thought that my cat had touched my arm but realized it wasn't cat fur a few minutes later," Humphries told WTVF-TV. "I reached up and looked even farther, and when I raised my head up without moving my arm, whatever was in the bed raised up also and it was a small head." Humphries said she grabbed a flashlight and revealed the identity of the intruder -- a 3-foot-long snake. "I yelled for my daughter downstairs. I was in shock because I've never had a snake in my house. I've never even had a mouse in my house," Humphries said. Cheatham County sheriff's deputies responded to the home and removed the snake, identified as a non-venomous rat snake. It was relocated to the nearby woods and released. Humphries said she believes the snake got into her home through a basement flood drain. "It gives me chills down my spine when I think about having a snake on my bed that was actually laying on me," Humphries said. She said she isn't the only one who was a little freaked out by the situation. "I even tried to get folks to come over and watch a scary movie in the dark the next night. Nobody [was] game for that," she wrote on Facebook. Technology...14-year-old scientist aims to
