How did reflecting upon everyday phenomena influence Einstein's work?
How did reflecting upon everyday phenomena influence Einstein's work?
His curiosity about everyday phenomena, like movement through time and space, inspired him and drove his scientific explorations.
In your own words, why might the principles governing our movement through time and space seem 'insignificant and somehow negligible' to some people?
In your own words, why might the principles governing our movement through time and space seem 'insignificant and somehow negligible' to some people?
Because these movements are constant and often imperceptible in daily life, making their impact less obvious.

Movement in Time & Space
Movement in Time & Space
The idea that we are constantly moving through time and space, with our speed varying significantly.
Inspiration from Time-Space
Inspiration from Time-Space
A foundational concept that greatly intrigued and inspired Albert Einstein.
Study Notes
- Everyday movement is governed by time.
- The rate of movement through space varies.
- Movement can range from slow to extremely fast.
- Albert Einstein was inspired by these principles.
- Einstein's fascination led him to explore and explain the world.
