  • @AraoftheFunk "True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness" AE :)

  • @am101171 Thanks very much for this. My maths isn't good enough to fully understand the equations, but I think I have an idea now of what inspired his thinking.

  • @am101171 ah! and there were also the Lorentz equations that are exactly the same Einstein used for the special theory of relativity, Einstein just put all these together, which might seem little when looked from outside, but it was a big leap that nobody did in 300 years. And this is only for the special theory of relativity.

  • @mucalinda there were already several hints and evidence of it, there was the Michelson Morley Ether experiment and the Maxwell equations for electromagnetism that predicted that an electromagnetic field would travel at a constant speed in space (I think it was calculated closed to the speed of light or it is the same I don´t remember right now).The genius of Einstein was recognizing that Ether was not necessary if the speed of light was the limit, & light was actually an electromagnetic field

  • Speed off light is still the universal limit, sub-atomic particle do weird things with dimensions.
