Happy Pi Day, fediverse!
And since it's also Albert Einstein's birthday, here's a quote from his 1949 article "Why Socialism?":
"The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil."
He sure was a smart guy.
40 #Quintillion (40 x billion x billion) Black Holes in the #Universe
#1440: #BlackHoles Explained
❛❛ #Cosmic objects so massive #light can't escape, black holes have fascinated #scientists and the general #public alike since being hypothesized by #AlbertEinstein more than a #century ago. ❜❜

Größte Entdeckung der #Kosmologie seit 26 Jahren? – #DunkleEnergie nicht konstant.
Auch die ausführliche Analyse einer riesigen Himmelskarte bestätigt #AlbertEinstein. Aber es vertiefen sich die Hinweise, dass die Dunkle #Energie nicht konstant ist.
@mariapopova I believe you correctly surmise “how staggered (Emily Dickinson’s) pliant young mind must have been to learn that scientists had just proven the existence of atoms.”
But #physicists didn’t accept the #AtomicTheory until #AlbertEinstein demonstrated its verity through Brownian motion over a *century* after #JohnDalton proposed it.
Both ‘particle #chemistry ‘ and #QuantumChemistry predate their #physics counterparts by a century since Dalton quantized *mass*!
We've had relativity, the physics of time, genius, the speed of light, the Grand Unified Theory, photons, black holes, quantum physics - but this is the first time Melvyn Bragg and his experts have considered Albert Einstein himself.
About time, you might say.
