Albert Einstein's theories rank among humanity's greatest achievements. They sparked the scientific revolution of the 20th Century. In their attempts to understand how space, time and matter are connected, Einstein and his successors made three predictions...

First, that space is expanding from a Big Bang. Second, that black holes exist -- these extremely dense places in the universe where space and time are tied into contorted knots and where time itself -- stops. And third, that there is some kind of energy pulling the universe apart. These three predictions seemed so far-fetched, that everyone, including Einstein himself, thought they were unlikely. Incredibly, all three have turned out to be true. This is where NASA's Beyond Einstein program begins. Using advanced space-based technology to explore these three questions, NASA and its partners begin the next revolution in our understanding of the universe. NASA's Beyond Einstein program is poised to complete Einstein's legacy -- and ultimately unravel the mysteries of the Universe.

It would have been fantastic if Tesla & Einstien had got together & shared their opinions

[900BiscayneBayCondos]

It's amazing that Einstein was able to hypothesize about the existence of black holes in that day and age.

@mr suicideman...the question raised in a long way is "does light have a chance of traveling faster than 186k per sec do to the gravitational terminal velocity of being sucked into a black hole?"

Hats off to Einstein ..a single man with infinite ideas!

[CostaDelBarto]

@prscomp Nope. Mayans did not have tensor calculus.

[prscomp]

@900BiscayneBayCondos Please, the Mayans knew about way before Einstein.

@nicwebana your stupid

[tyga42]

so the otherside becomes a star past the event horizon, and all the matter being sucked in is then compressed and forms at the closest star.. which then unifies all the other principles about how each galaxy remains seperate but linear if each star in universe corrisponds, im sorry but you did try this before and the readings were inconclusive as the probe was crushed and destroyed and the signal was lost, in fact everytime you have done this it's failed, im not crazy we stuck in temporal paradi

@davyro66 oh read it now LOL my bad

[davyro66]

@gvsfgdf i don't think you've read my comment properly if you had done you wouldn't have wrote your comment lolollol

[gvsfgdf]

@davyro66 Electricity IS a study in physics lol

[nicwebana]

i believe it was stephen hawking that said what causes a black hole was the implosion of a star or planet......
