A little science:

During the 'Space-Race' between the USA and USSR, NASA did a lot of research and spend over 3 million dollars to come up with a pen that would write at zero gravity and sub-zero temperatures. The Russians had a successful solution to the problem as well.
What was it?

I just found out this is an myth. didn't really happen both used pencil's untill they found out that a normal pen would work just fine in space

Also Pencils didn't work because the graphite would break off and float around the place. would go in peoples eyes and into the circuits and stuff.

who came up with The theory of relativity ?

Albert Einstein?

What was the Roman name for Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea?

wasn't Einstein.

Hmm, figured that. Would be to easy! Seem to recall Einstein based his theory on earlier discoveries/calculations by another scientist, but I can't put a name to it.
Any clues?

I can only think of one clue but it would give the answer away to to easily lol.

umm.... his name is in a very popular song from the 70's i think. song was in an american movie sung in a car. think that is about as good a clue as i could have given

It was Galileo.

Galileo was the first one to come up with the theory of reletivity the n Einstein came up with the Special and General versions later.

That smartass Galileo!

- What's odd about the background of Da Vinci's Mona Lisa?

The background is of trees, water and some other stuff.. I'm just saying that cause i have no idea what is odd about it 😖

neither

It consists out of 4 different horizons. Looks normal at first sight, but a good look reveals that the items in the background don't really match with those behind it.

Wow I didn't know that lol

One more on art; Rembrandt van Rijn's painting 'The Nightwatch' (hoping that's the correct translation for it in English) has gotten it's name because of a certain event that occured long after the artist made the painting.
