This steampunk style sculpture is the brainchild of UK artist, Tim Wetherell. On one level it represents a Newtonian model of the universe operating as a gigantic machine in accordance with fixed physical laws. But it is also a reference to the shortcomings of that model—shortcomings which eventually led Einstein to develop his theories of special and general relativity. The artwork has moving gears, a working clock, and a ‘speed adjuster’ that is an allusion to the need to compensate for the inconsistencies which surfaced when Newton’s model was tested in the light of more precise measurements of physical phenomena. At the centre of the sculpture is an animation of the moon going through its phases.
The work is displayed on a wall at the Questacon science museum in Canberra. I have not been able to find information as to its exact size but it is large—probably four to five metres in total height and a good two-and-a-half metres wide. The section of the mechanism shown in the photograph is probably a metre and a half across.

This is the place – a plantation (roça) in the Island of Príncipe - where Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, a famous British astrophysicist of the early 20th century, confirmed Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Eddington travelled to Príncipe to watch the solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 and stayed in the main house of roça Sundy. During the eclipse, he took pictures of the stars in the region around the Sun. According to the theory of general relativity, stars with light rays that passed near the Sun would appear to have been slightly shifted because their light had been curved by its gravitational field. This effect is noticeable only during eclipses, since otherwise the Sun's brightness obscures the affected stars. Eddington showed that Newtonian gravitation could be interpreted to predict half the shift predicted by Einstein.
Eddington's observations published the next year confirmed Einstein's theory, and were hailed at the time as a conclusive proof of general relativity over the Newtonian model. The news was reported in newspapers all over the world as a major story. I visited the spot where good old Arthur took his crucial photos and I felt, jzzzz: History was made there
[ Let me tell you Roça Sundy was bought by Mark Shuttleworth, the South African billionaire entrepeneur who gained worldwide fame as the second self-funded space tourist and the first-ever African in space. Flying through Space Adventures, he launched aboard the Russian Soyuz TM-34 mission as a spaceflight participant, paying approximately US$ 20 million for the voyage ]
A digital fine art in black and white of a portrait of Albert Einstein and his formula E=mc^2. this is the equation for mass energy equivalence. It is also known as Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.
"We don’t allow faster than light neutrinos in here, said the bartender. A neutrino walks into a bar." - Viral joke on internet
From The Telegaph:
It was Albert Einstein, no less, who proposed more than 100 years ago that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light.
But last night it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong.
The science world was left in shock when workers at the world’s largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light.
If the findings are proven to be accurate, they would overturn one of the pillars of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the way the universe and everything within it works.
Einstein’s theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.
The results have so astounded researchers that American and Japanese scientists have been asked to verify the results before they are confirmed as a discovery.
This is just one three giant sand sculptures currently on display in the upper courtyard at Dublin Castle. Each year the three Sculptors come up with wonderful projects. I think Albert Einstein's eyes look like two black holes here. A region of space time from which gravity prevents anything, including light from escaping. I'm fascinated by it!.
This one was created by Niall Magee. They are all so talented though...;-)
I purchased a white apple keyboard by ebay auction. In the description the seller wrote "... with light signs of usage". Now I understand the meaning of the theory of relativity. ;-)

Today I attended a lecture on the theory of relativity, explained by Professor Einstein himself. The gala event was highly attended, as Herr Professor was rumored to have died in 1955. Recent disturbances in the quantum superstring flux are now known to have been caused by Herr Professor's non-linear travels. His equations were remarkably easy to understand, as he has accumulated a much better grasp on what he referred to as "the whole shebang." After the tea, we all played at dice.
Developed jointly by Stanford University and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., Gravity Probe B (GP-B) was a scientific mission intended to test Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, which predicted that both space and time are distorted by the presence of massive objects. Marshall was in charge of overall project management while Stanford was responsible for mission conception, design, integration of the science instrument, as well as mission operations and data analysis. GP-B was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Atop a Boeing Delta II rocket on April 20, 2004.

So, I get most of these, but I don't know what the "C" and the "I" are. Feel free to enlighten me in the comments.
The year 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's presentation of the complete Theory of General Relativity to the Prussian Academy. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize the importance of Einstein’s theory — even if his earth-shaking physics formula, Rµv–½gµvR=(8πG/c4) Tµv, is daunting to many of us. Every day, Einstein’s work is employed by a huge percentage of the human population — including everyone who uses a global positioning system (GPS).
Einstein’s theory revealed that time runs more slowly near a strong source of gravity — an idea that revolutionized physics when first presented to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in November 1915, but would have no practical applications for decades, because the technologies that could make use of the theory did not yet exist. Today, Einstein’s discovery makes it possible to ensure GPS devices sync up properly with satellites far from the Earth’s center of gravity.
Albert Einstein was internationally celebrated for both his special and general theories of relativity when he was invited to Oxford in 1931. He gave a series of three lectures on relativity. This blackboard was preserved from the second lecture on 16 May 1931.
During the 1920s Edwin Hubble's observational work on red shifts had established that other galaxies were receding from our own. In his lecture Einstein outlined a relatively simple to explain the apparent expansion of the universe.
The first three lines establish an equation for D, the measure of expansion in the universe. The lower four lines provide numerical values for the expansion, density, radius and age of the universe.

Text des Zitats: "Der Mensch muss einsehen, dass seine Geschicke mit denen seiner Mitmenschen in allen Teilen der Welt eng verknüpft sind." (Albert Einstein)

"Man must realize, that his skills are narrow linked with them of his fellow man in all parts of the world."

"Albert Einstein (* 14. März 1879 in Ulm; † 18. April 1955 in Princeton, USA) war ein deutscher Physiker jüdischer Abstammung, dessen Beiträge zur theoretischen Physik maßgeblich das physikalische Weltbild veränderten.
Einsteins Hauptwerk ist die Relativitätstheorie, die das Verständnis von Raum und Zeit revolutionierte. Im Jahr 1905 erschien seine Arbeit mit dem Titel „Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper“, deren Inhalt heute als spezielle Relativitätstheorie bezeichnet wird. 1916 publizierte Einstein die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie. Auch zur Quantenphysik leistete er wesentliche Beiträge: Für seine Erklärung des photoelektrischen Effekts, die er ebenfalls 1905 publiziert hatte, wurde ihm 1921 der Nobelpreis für Physik verliehen. Seine theoretischen Arbeiten spielten – im Gegensatz zur populären Meinung – beim Bau der Atombombe und der Entwicklung der Kernenergie keine bedeutende Rolle.
Albert Einstein gilt als Inbegriff des Forschers und Genies. Er nutzte jedoch seinen erheblichen Bekanntheitsgrad auch außerhalb der naturwissenschaftlichen Fachwelt bei seinem Einsatz für Völkerverständigung und Frieden. In diesem Zusammenhang verstand er sich selbst als Pazifist, Sozialist und Zionist." Quelle und weitere Informationen: Wikipedia: Albert Einstein

The next time George Lucas re-tweaks the original trilogy, maybe he can add Albert as Yoda's wacky cousin, thereby bringing new meaning to "The Theory of Relative-ity".
Okay, a pun this bad deserves a slow and painful death by "The Pit of Carkoon"...

Don't call me an "Einstein". I had to sit and think for a minute and try to remember if his name was "Albert" or "Alfred"

"Einsteins Antrag auf Habilitation 1907 an der Berner Universität wurde zunächst abgelehnt, erst im folgenden Jahr war er damit erfolgreich. 1909 berief man ihn zum außerordentlichen Professor für theoretische Physik an der Universität Zürich. Im April 1911 wurde er für etwa ein Jahr ordentlicher Professor der theoretischen Physik an der deutschsprachigen Prager Universität. Damit verbunden war die Erlangung der österreichischen Staatsbürgerschaft.[3]Im Oktober 1912 kehrte er nach Zürich zurück, um an der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule zu forschen und zu lehren, kam also als Professor dorthin, wo er 1895 die Aufnahmeprüfung nicht bestanden hatte."
