4. In 1905, the final jigsaw pieces of the special theory of relativity came to Einstein where? Lunchbreak at the patent office In his sleep While hiking in the Alps While reading David Hume

5. 1905 was a very busy year for Einstein. 'Relativity' was his fourth paper. The fifth that year was on the photoelectric effect. By applying this great scientists' quantum theory of light, Einstein helped to establish quantum mechanics. Who was this great German scientist and idol to Einstein? Max Planck Marie Curie Philip Lenard Max von Laue

6. Einstein summed up the special theory of relativity in a magazine review a few years later with the now legendary equation E=mc2. How does this translate? Energy = mass multiplied by the speed of light squared Energy = mass multiplied by time squared Energy = atomic mass squared Energy = mass multiplied by velocity squared

7. What did Einstein win a Nobel Prize for in 1922, 17 years after relativity was first published? Special Theory of Relativity Unified Field Theory of Relativity General Theory of Relativity Services to Theoretical Physics

8. Einstein first visited the United States of America in April, 1921. What was the purpose for the visit? To support the World Zionist Organisation To lecture on the University circuit To leave Germany due to Nazi torment To witness an experiment by Robert Millikan on redshifts

9. What did Edgar Hoover suspect so strongly, that he committed thousands of FBI man-hours in unsuccessfully trying to convict Einstein? Einstein was smuggling fission secrets to the Soviet Einstein was a fraud Einstein had conspired against the US government Einstein was a communist

10. One of the reasons it took 30 years for the majority of scientists to support relativity was that it dispelled the mythical existence of the ether. Ether was described as an infinite, jelly like substance, which was the medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves. True False
