According to the excerpt, what helped Einstein to draw
the conclusion that space was like a stretchy blanket
rather than rigid nothingness, as Newton believed?
Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is Not a Hole by
Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano, and answer the question.
In this way of thinking, the "background" acted more like
a flexible mat, or a stretchy knit blanket. This new,
blanket-like idea of space meant space could stretch,
crunch up, bend, and warp. Moving objects would follow
the curves of the blanket, moving along the surface
through flat sections as well as distorted ones. This new
idea about space changed the way scientists think about
gravity.
Speaking of Gravity: Newtonese and Einsteinese
Most of the time gravity seems to work the way Newton
described it. Newton's rules explain a lot, from falling
apples to most planets' orbits. But his laws don't work
perfectly. In high-gravity zones, Newton's ideas don't jibe
with what scientists observe. For example, Mercury's
orbit-up close to the Sun-has a blip in it that Newton's

As you have learned, epic heroes experience trials along their journeys. using your knowledge from beowulf, create a trial you believe an epic hero like beowulf might face. you will need to write a description of the trial using the aspects of a narrative. the trial can be anything you imagine, meaning you can test the hero in any way you see fit. be creative and have fun with this! let your creativity flow. focus on key attributes of beowulf and use his attributes to create a trial that would truly test him. since beowulf is very strong, a trial involving strength and endurance might be to easy. try thinking outside the box to create a trial that would truly test the hero of the geats. examples of beowulf’s attributes: couragous, loyal, strong, persistant, honorable, confident try to use one or multiples of these attribute when designing your trial. a good way to think of this activity is that you are a hunger games game designer. what could you make that would stump beowulf
