The formal displacement of the geocentric principle far from being Copernicus' primary concern, was introduced only to resolve what seemed to him intolerable in orthodox astronomy, namely, the ' unphysical ' triplication of centric reference-points: one center from which the planet's distances were calculated, another around which planetary velocities were computed, and still a third center ( the earth ) from which the observations originated.

When Littlepage was introduced, if the General behaved as usual, the newcomer faced a staccato salvo of queries: origin??

After the Juniors were welcomed and congratulated for qualifying for the Finals of the Junior Class, Mrs. William H. Long, Jr. was introduced as the first speaker.

A back pressure was then introduced, and the rise or fall of the material in the manometer indicated which was greater, the normal pressure in the block or the back pressure.

In short, scientific sampling was introduced in place of subjective sampling.

The latest major change in this program was introduced by the National Defense Education Act of 1958, Title 8, of which amended the George-Barden Act.

The raw sewage was introduced directly under the turbine aerator to insure maximum mixing of the raw sewage with the aeration tank contents.

Urethane foam, as only one example, was only introduced commercially in this country in 1955.

An ex-fighter was introduced to her in a bar as `` Mr. Warfield, the famous producer ''.

He also complained that not enough notice was given on the hearing, since the bill was introduced only last Monday.

The D Minor Sonata, Op. 31 No. 2, introduced by dynamically shaped arpeggios, was most engaging in its moments of quasi-recitative -- single lines in which the fingers seemed to be feeling their way toward the idea to come.

My cousin Alma, at whose home I was staying during the convention, introduced me to a group of young people from Rhode Island.

The term was introduced into optics by Johann Heinrich Lambert in his 1760 work Photometria.

He never succeeded in devising such a method, but his best attempt was published in his book Sophist, where he introduced his division method.

At the 29th ceremony, held on March 27, 1957, the Best Foreign Language Film category was introduced.

In need of a model for his statuette, Gibbons was introduced by his future wife Dolores del Río to Mexican film director and actor Emilio " El Indio " Fernández.

In Greece, there was since the 19th century a science of the folklore called laographia ( laography ), in the form of " a science of the interior ", although theoretically weak ; but the connotation of the field deeply changed after World War II, when a wave of Anglo-American anthropologists introduced a science " of the outside ".

The inspiration oracular-cult was probably introduced from Anatolia.

It is more probable that this art was introduced later from Anatolia and regenerated an existing oracular cult that was local to Delphi and dormant in several areas of Greece.

The inspiration oracular cult was probably introduced into Greece from Anatolia, which is the origin of Sibyl, and where existed some of the oldest oracular shrines.

The Afroasiatic language family was originally referred to as " Hamito-Semitic ", a term introduced in the 1860s by the German scholar Karl Richard Lepsius.

It also reveals that the principle of linguistic relativity was so named because because Whorf saw that idea of his as having similar implications as Einstein's principle of physical relativity.

The first part of Einstein's argument was to determine how far a Brownian particle travels in a given time interval.

An identical expression to Einstein's formula for the diffusion coefficient was also found by Walther Nernst in 1888 in which he expressed the diffusion coefficient as the ratio of the osmotic pressure to the ratio of the frictional force and the velocity to which it gives rise.

It was later realized that Einstein's model was just one of a larger set of possibilities, all of which were consistent with general relativity and the cosmological principle.

The source of Einstein's proposal that light was composed of particles ( or could act as particles in some circumstances ) was an experimental anomaly not explained by the wave theory was the photoelectric effect, by which light striking a metal surface ejected electrons from the surface, causing an electric current to flow across an applied voltage.

Eventually Einstein's explanation was accepted as new particle-like behavior of light was observed, such as the Compton effect.

Though the EPR paper has often been taken as an exact expression of Einstein's views, it was primarily authored by Podolsky, based on discussions at the Institute for Advanced Study with Einstein and Rosen.

This was precisely Einstein's conclusion in 1911.

Einstein's prediction was confirmed by many experiments, starting with Arthur Eddington's 1919 solar eclipse expedition.

This idea was introduced in Einstein's 1907 article " Principle of Relativity and Gravitation " and later developed in 1911.

Aether theory was dealt another blow when the Galilean transformation and Newtonian dynamics were both modified by Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, giving the mathematics of Lorentzian electrodynamics a new, " non-aether " context.

Unlike most major shifts in scientific thought, special relativity was adopted by the scientific community remarkably quickly, consistent with Einstein's later comment that the laws of physics described by the Special Theory were " ripe for discovery " in 1905.

As a philosopher of science Ernst Mach was a major influence on logical positivism, and through his criticism of Isaac Newton, a forerunner of Einstein's theory of relativity.

Classical mechanics was later further enhanced by Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity.

Albert Einstein's mathematical description of how the photoelectric effect was caused by absorption of quanta of light ( now called photons ), was in one of his 1905 papers, named " On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ".

However, the manner of the increase was not experimentally determined until 1914 when Robert Andrews Millikan showed that Einstein's prediction was correct.

In 2008, Albert Einstein's 1954 German letter in which he dismissed belief in a personal God was auctioned off for more than US $ 330, 000.

Again, the weighing of evidence and importance of new data was fit through the human sieve: some scientists found the simplicity of Einstein's equations to be most compelling, while some found them more complicated than the notion of Maxwell's aether which they banished.

From Einstein's simple postulation was born a flurry of debating, theorizing, and testing.
