Albert Einsteins century-old calculations now sold for an astronomic 15 million

Albert Einstien is one of the most revered and important figures in human history. His theories and calculations have led to the birth of modern astrophysics and a better understanding of the mysteries of our universe. So, it comes as no surprise that a document of calculations that belonged to the renowned physicist has been sold at an auction for a whopping $14.98 million. Roughly around, Rs 1,11,66,96,084 converted. Now, that’s a lot of money! The paper was written by Einstein and Swiss engineer, Michele Besso in 1913. Earlier, we reported that a job application filled out by the late Steve Jobs was auctioned off for $343,000 (Rs 2,54,80,320 approx converted). That auction did not nearly fetch the amount that Einstien’s manuscript did. 

A listing on the official Christie’s auction house website described the manuscript as, “The Einstein-Besso manuscript documents a crucial stage in the development of the general theory of relativity, often described as the most beautiful theory in physics, and one of the single most important ideas in modern science. It is a 54-page working manuscript written jointly by Albert Einstein and Michele Besso between June 1913 and early 1914.” The listing continues to state, “Einstein's scientific autographs from this period, and more generally from before 1919, are rare. As one of only two surviving manuscripts documenting the genesis of general relativity, it provides a remarkable insight into Einstein's work and a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the greatest scientist of the 20th century.” 

If anything, this goes to show exactly how influential Einstien was and is on the modern world. His theories and calculations have so many far-reaching effects that we’re still seeing the application of his work to this day. Also, remember that all these insane and complicated calculations were done almost exclusively by hand as there were no electronic gadgets like calculators then.

BGMI 1.7 update

The Mirror World Theme was added as part of the 1.7 update for BGMI that rolled out a few days back. The theme is a part of the game’s collaboration with the League of Legends Arcane animated series on Netflix. This part of this, a Mirror Island will now appear in the sky after some time. Players will be able to enter this island by using the Wind Wall on the ground. When they enter the mode, the player’s character will transform into one of four legends from the League of Legends Arcane animated series. This includes Jinx, Vi, Jayce and Caitlyn. Players can then kill a monster on Mirror Island with the character’s weapons and skills. 

Players will also get Hexcrystals as a reward when they kill a monster. These can then be exchanged for a battle item. Once the character is dead or the playtime on the Mirror Island is done, players will return to the normal map. 

There is also another crossover with Liverpool FC. Players can partake in a number of events featuring the football team. This includes Event sections such as You’ll Never Walk Alone that offer rewards like the Liverpool FC parachute, the Liverpool FC backpack and the Liverpool FC jersey. 

The update also added a bunch of new gameplay features. One notable new addition is the introduction of a piggyback feature in the game’s Classic mode. Now, players can carry any downed teammate or enemy. It should be noted that when carrying a player, the player's movement speed will be reduced and they won’t be able to use any items or board vehicles. Further, the downed player’s HP will continue to decrease when carried.
