- (………………………………………………………..) Terrorists and criminals cross national borders easily. Law-enforcement should be able to do the same.

(………………………………………………………………………..)His flash of insight was to fuse the three dimensions of space with that of time and create a single, mutable whole: spacetime. To make sure that light was always seen to move at light speed, the theory predicted weird effects like the shrinking of physical extent or stretching of time as objects got faster.
A) After the 1919 eclipse, general relativity lapsed into the shadows.
B) Einstein took this to be an absolute speed limit.
C) Physicists were distracted by another flashy new theory, quantum mechanics, or working on the physics of atomic nuclei, which was also booming.
