Can we use Einstein’s special theory of relativity – the speed of light is the same in all reference frames, irrespective of their relative motion — to describe the “speed of data” in a flat world of global internet economy?

It’s 130th Anniversary of Albert Einstein’s Birth!

For all his fame and glory, the man was true to his passion towards science and research — Einstein’s “miracle year”– when he published four papers that would alter the course of modern physics, happened while he was working as a clerk in a patent office.

With our worldly distractions, how many engineers and scientists will choose to pursue creativity and ideas with such selflessness?
