Video relativity

What phenomenon did Albert Einstein observe in his mind when he imagined traveling at the speed of light past a clock tower?

• The clock's hands would speed up.

• The clock's hands would appear to completely freeze.

• The clock's hands would move backward.

• The clock tower would disappear.

Which two iconic physicists heavily influenced Albert Einstein's work?

• Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler

• Marie Curie and Max Planck

• Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell

• Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg

What was the core conflict between Newton's laws of motion and Maxwell's findings about the speed of light that presented a dilemma for Einstein?

• Newton believed light was a particle, while Maxwell believed it was a wave.

• Newton's laws stated velocities are relative, but Maxwell found the speed of light to be fixed regardless of the observer.

• Newton's laws applied only to terrestrial objects, while Maxwell's applied to celestial bodies.

• Newton's laws described gravity, while Maxwell's described electromagnetism.

What concept did Einstein propose to reconcile the conflict between the relativity of velocities and the constant speed of light?

• Quantum entanglement

• Black holes

• Time dilation

• The uncertainty principle
