Hegelian, eh?

Centuries ago, Newton laid physics firmly to the ground, only to be uprooted by Einstein. Now, Einstein could be wrong.




1915:

In Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the curvature of spacetime plays the role that electromagnetic fields play for electromagnetic forces. Gravity is local: if a mass is jiggled, ripples in the curvature travel out at the speed of light.

In a phenomenon called Entanglement, Einstein's special theory of relativity might not really be that special. You might as well also find out what "locality" means in a quantum mechanical sense , aside from referring to your "baranggay."
