One of Albert Einstein's greatest insights was realizing that time is relative.In his last years of life, Albert Einstein knew he was ill and refused operations that would save his life. He made his wishes clear: "I want to be cremated so people won't come to worship at my bones" [source: Paterniti ]. Einstein died on April 18, 1955, at the age of 76 of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurism, and he got his wish as far as his bones were concerned; his ashes were scattered in an undisclosed location.

Proof of the existence of God set down on paper
Kurt Gödel was best known as a mathematician and secondarily known as an extreme eccentric. After his death, he became known for something else: creating an ontological proof of the existence of God. While some branches of reasoning are meant to start with observable phenomena, ontological proof doesn't grow out of earthly proof.Atoms in the Universe
A billion years after the big bang, hydrogen atoms were mysteriously torn apart into a soup of ions. The number of atoms in the entire observable universe is estimated to be within the range of 10 78 to 10 82 . We’ve added the word ‘observable’ because we realize that there are really many things to discover about the entire universe so, basically, that range back there is only an estimate based upon what we currently know.

AMAZING PHOTO CAPTURES ROBOT CARGO SHIP'S SPACE STATION ARRIVAL - Astronauts aboard the International Space Station captured an extraordinary photo of an unmanned European cargo ship as it docked to the orbiting outpost last week. The European Space Agency's third Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV-3) launched into orbit on March 23, and arrived at the space station five days later, on March 28. The robotic cargo ship delivered about 7 tons of supplies, including water, oxygen, food, clothing, experiments and propellant.
