dear all
i am posting a riddle send to me by my friend. plz help me to solve it.

Once all the scientists die and go to heaven............

They decide to play hide-n-seek.........

Unfortunately Einstein is the one who has the den...........

He is supposed to count upto 100...and then start searching.....

front

newton..........

Thanks Sudheer. Trick is in Newton's drwing the sqare and then standing in it. By drawing the quare, Newton creates two different spaces; one in which Newton is standing and the other in which Einstein is standing. Now to see Newton, Einstein has to prove that the light coming to his eyes is really the one coming after reflecing frpom Newton's body. Newton just proves that the light reaching Einstien'e eyes is not the one which is really from Newton. After all Einstein's theory of relativity itself say that nothing is absolure and every thing is relative...So Newton just proves that what Einstein might be seeing is not the real Newton but his image or some illusion.

May be there are other explanations one can come out...which we will know as more members respond

well since newton is standing in 1 m2 area...so he is newton per m2...which is pascal...hence he is not newton but pascal...;)

Hold on hold on my friends...Not yet.. Einstein disputes the answer and calls Pascal from hiding to let Newton see for himself the real pascal.. How does Newton diffrentiate between Pascal the real man and himself standing in a one metre square.? ..Let me argue from Einstein side and you guys from Newton side...I am sure the debate will be a bit more fun...hahahaha
