One for our old friend, Inc - perhaps he'll rise to it... Special Relativity!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2832750064_a1dd298f37.jpg?v=0



Perhaps the most beautiful theory ever devised by man from one of the world's most brilliant minds, Professor Albert Einstein.

A theory of physics it is actually separated in 2. Special and General Relativity. They explain the laws of gravity into more detailed forms.

Special Relativity concerns spacetime. broken down further:

the laws of physics are the same for observers moving at the same time and pace.

the speed of time is constant and insurmountable

General Relativity talks about the effects of gravitational fields. they bend light....the greater the gravitational field the slower the speed of time!!!! (wrap your head around that) gravitational forces are affected by speed of the observer.


i think i got the jest of it. :cool:


Jenny Wade? who? i pass.

The Knights Templar were the most powerful order of the 'holy knights' that were created after the success of the First Crusade. Their primary mission was to defend the Christian pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem, and after that, defense of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Knights also created Europe's first banking system. Sadly the wealth they gathered made them a target of European kings, and in the mid (or was it late?) 13th century, almost all the knights were imprisoned for life or executed by the king of France on false heresy and blasphemy charges, and their assets seized.

The Bubonic Plaque

[Jule]

From the British point of view:
The Bubonic Plague is also knows as black death. It spread across the world, starting from East Asia, and reached England in June 1348, Scotland in 1350.
Within one year, one-third of the population of England and Wales were dead. By 1350, only 2.5 m people were left in England.
If you survived the Bubonic Plague, you experienced positiv effects. The Plague had created a labor shortage and a corresponding rise in wages.Serfdom disappeared as employers competed for scarce workers (law of supply and demand). Houses were built in stone rather than wood, glass windows were used. A bit like the economic miracle in post war Germany.
The nobles did not like the new-found prosperity of the poor, so they introduced a poll tax which later led to the Peasant's Revolt (1381)

The Battle of Wounded Knee was an avoidable clusterfuck of bad military policy. The last of the Sioux Indians had decided to give up and be escorted by the US army to the Indian refuge in Nebraska. they were to have met at Wounded Knee Creek in North Dakota and be disarmed. For some reason this already tense situation exploded into a pointless battle because of miscommunication and hundreds of people died.

Hrm.. Henry VIII (the king, not the play)

The King who had about 6 wifes and due to the fact he couldn´t divorce from them because it wasn´t allowed from the catholic church he found the Anglican church, so it was the founding of Protestantism In England

still Inca

[Incubus]

Inca is the name of the aboriginal Indians who lived along the west coast of south america. A strictly religious people they had a complex belief system. their capitol city was Cusco in modern day Peru where they built the Macchu Picchu site. one of the world's 7 great wonders. (did you know that all the buildings in Maccu Picchu were built without nails or screws? just extremely finely cut and angled stones layed one on top of the other)

unfortunately their people and culture was largely destroyed by the Spanish Conquistadors


The Spanish Inquisition

[rcarson13@yahoo.com]

Spanish Inquisition - Persecution of heretics and those who didn't conform to the then current doctrines of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Began in Spain but spread throughout Europe and the colonies. Literally, inquisition simply means questioning. It became notorious for the tortures that were used during the questioning, and the penalties imposed upon thise found guilty.

Protestant Reformation

[Jamie90]

Yeah, the same with the Pyramids, its incredible

The Spanish Inquisition - The Spanish trying to convert everybody to Christianity and killed everybody who did not agree....they also went to many other countries and tried to make the people believe in Christianity....I hope thats an okay answer

Protestant Reformation - took place in many countries led by different characters....mainly the term describes the seperation from the roman catholic church into Protestanism, so the founding of a new religion which wasn´t as strict as the catholic church

Martin Luther (not King)

[Incubus]

Wow, cool coincidence

The Prostestant Reformation and Martin Luther are inextricably linked after all, he initiated it.

Martin Luther was a German Monk we spoke out against the Catholic Church. His main qualm had to do with the Catholic's practice of accepting money for the forgiveness of sins. Martin Luther thought this to be unjust and against the true teachings of Jesus. He said that any baptized Christian who confesses and begs forgiveness for his sins should be redeemed... among other differences. He penned the 95 theses document where he spoke out against the papacy and the church and distributed it around Europe. he had to go into hiding. his teachings inspired both the peasant war and the Protestant Reformation. A very bold man for the times.


The Tiananmen Square protests

[Jamie90]

wow...very good....and indeed a funny coincidence

don´t know about yours.... it is something about a protest on a a square in China, but I´ll let someone else answer properly

[Kitty Lynn]

Tiananmen Square was a horrible massacre that happened during the 80s, basically a lot of the younger generation in China were getting interested in capitalism/democracy/Westernization, and the Communist Party killed thousands of people who tried to protest their platform... today the Chinese government still denies that it happened and tries to cover it up


John Locke

[Incubus]

In 1989 pro democracy supporters convened in Tienanmen Square in China to mourn the death of the pro democracy leader - Hu...something.

Anyways the crowds were getting to big and the Communist Party of China sent the army down there to flex some muscle. lots and lots of people were killed.

He brought together to Mongol nation, all the tribes fighting the Tartar army under one banner, and totally decimating their number. He took in wanderers, banished from family tribes and turned the men into warriors, and gave their families security within his tribe. I'm waiting for someone to finish the second book - and I might update then!! *grin*

Ghengis was a tribal warrior - the story I'm reading, kind of a biography of sorts is totally brill!! I've nearly finished the first book, which takes you up to when he was eighteen - and commanded the largest fighting tribal army in the history of the Mongol Nation!! He was fearless and I think I've got a crush on a dead man :neutral:

Merlin - magician in the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. He was probably based on a magic man, who cured ailments by using local knowledge of herbs - and he may also have been an astrologer, reading the future using the position of stars etc. He had a white beard, and of course wore a dress with stars and moons on - Oh!! And a pointy wizards hat and he would have drunk ale by the flagon!!
