Packet 1: Bonus 14

In 1915, this scientist proposed a set of field equations to govern his theory of general relativity. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this scientist who described mass-energy equivalence with the equation e equals m c squared.
ANSWER: Albert Einstein
[10m] In the field equations, Einstein shortened the “Metric” one of these objects to just “Metrics” when describing the geometric and causal structure of spacetime. These objects generalize scalars and vectors.
ANSWER: tensors [accept metric tensor]
[10h] In order to generalize Newton’s laws of motion to curved spacetime, Einstein’s Field equations use one of these paths called the World line. Traditionally, these are the shortest paths between two points on a surface.
ANSWER: geodesics [accept geodesic equation]
