What If Einstein Was Alive?

Whenever we hear the term Physics, one name clicks into our mind – Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist and philosopher of science whose estimated IQ scores range from 205 to 225 by different measures. But what if Einstein had never existed? Would others have come along and made precisely the same advances? Would those advances have come quickly, or would they have taken such a long time that some of them might not yet have occurred? Would it have taken a genius of equal magnitude to bring his great achievements to fruition? It’s a fascinating question to explore. 

Einstein's legacy in physics is significant. Here are some of the key scientific principles that he pioneered: Theory of Special Relativity, Unified Field Theory, Theory of General Relativity, Gravitational Waves, Gravitational Lensing, Mercury's Orbit, Black Holes E=mc2 gave rise to the atomic bomb and the nuclear arms race. Knowing that he was mostly responsible for causing the atomic bomb’s eventual discovery, Einstein slipped into a period of great depression.

He believed himself to be a pacifist. Surely the Theory of Relativity is used every day by physicists in their increasingly complex endeavours. But its effects can be seen in our everyday lives too. None of the following things would be possible without Einstein’s two theories of relativity: GPS systems, televisions, nuclear power plants, remote control devices, lasers, DVD-players and many others. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention the universe itself.

It’s the blessing of renowned scientists that in present times, remarkably, the sectors of Virtual Reality, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be the mainstream in various risk-resolving aspects in our daily routine life. The unbelievable will be believable in the future. 

This article elaborates on the possible inventions in 2050 suggested by the foremost futurists who think these inventions can reshape the course of the world. “Space Vacations!” one of the most intriguing predictions. Rocket companies like Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and Elon’s SpaceX are seamlessly trying to make this vision come true.

Hyperloop is a transportation concept beyond expectations which was founded and developed by Tesla. In the future, it is believed that Hyperloop will become a global chain of transportation and will change the perception of people towards transportation. 

The possibility of AI-enabled Human Robots is massive. “Reincarnation or Rebirth of People,” sounds weird and strange, I know! But according to one of the top futurists Kurzweil, in the future, with the growth of nanobots technology with improvement in scanning machinery, we would be able to send them into a human's brain to extract memories of their loved ones or dead people. 

With the technology of augmented DNA Sampling, we can extract one’s DNA from people’s memory and be able to create a virtual convincing version of them. This extraordinary genius led us to believe that even if Einstein had never existed, general relativity would eventually have fallen into the realm of human knowledge.
