Hubble's Law states that galaxies are moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance - v = H₀ × d. This expansion law is fundamental evidence for the Big Bang theory. Kepler's laws describe planetary motion around the sun, not galactic recession.

The Big Bang theory describes the origin of our universe approximately 13.8 billion years ago from an extremely hot, dense initial state. The universe has been expanding and cooling ever since. Big Ben is a famous clock tower in London, not related to cosmology.

The statement is false. Visible matter (ordinary matter made of atoms) accounts for only about 5% of the universe. The majority consists of dark energy (~68%) and dark matter (~27%), with visible matter being a very small fraction. This is a fundamental concept in modern cosmology.

Albert Einstein famously said 'God does not play dice' to express his skepticism about the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. This quote represents his philosophical disagreement with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory, which he maintained throughout his life despite the theory's experimental success.

Albert Einstein is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century for his revolutionary contributions to physics, including the Special and General Theories of Relativity, the photoelectric effect (for which he won the Nobel Prize), and his work on Brownian motion. His name has become synonymous with genius.

Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, not for relativity. This is a common misconception - while relativity was his most famous work, the Nobel Committee specifically cited his work on the photoelectric effect, which was crucial in establishing quantum theory.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire, in 1879. While he later renounced his German citizenship and became a Swiss citizen, and eventually a US citizen, he was German by birth and ethnicity.

When light travels from water (denser medium) to air (rarer medium), it bends away from the normal due to refraction. This makes the coin appear shallower than its actual position. Reflection involves light bouncing back, buoyancy is about floating, and surface tension is about liquid surface behavior - none of these explain the depth illusion.

Surface tension is the cohesive force that allows water to form droplets and stick to surfaces. This property enables water molecules to cling to most materials through adhesive forces. Viscosity is about fluid thickness, capillary action is about narrow tube movement, and specific heat relates to temperature change.
