Einstein’s special theory of relativity misunderstoodslpr2013
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is misunderstood and does not actually describe the mechanics of the universe, according to the document. It introduces Space Lattice Theory, which proposes that space is densely packed with small objects ("Aa") arranged in a lattice structure, rather than being mostly empty.

Santa Cruz, CA, May 27, 2014 - The California State Legislature unanimously passed a bill
yesterday with bipartisan support to recognize the essential role that museums have in the State
of California as educational institutions. This overwhelming endorsement complements a program
underway to put the beloved beagle Snoopy on California license plates and help fund the state’s
museums at the same time. In recognition of California Museums Month, Californians are
invited to visit www.snoopyplate.com to pre-order their Snoopy license plates and support the
vital work of museums in preserving and sharing our State’s culture and heritage.
Assembly member Ian Calderon (D-Whittier) introduced ACR 115 California Museums Month, a
measure that designates May 2014 as California Museum Month and invites all Californians to
recognize and celebrate the vital role museums serve as educational institutions. “California
museums play an essential role in our state,” stated Assembly member Calderon in a press
release. “They are not only the key drivers of tourism, but also an excellent source of educational
programs that enhance a student’s learning experience.” Assembly member Calderon is the Chair
of the Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media.
The license plate features a reproduction of an original drawing of Snoopy by Peanuts cartoonist
Charles Schulz. Proceeds from sales will establish a competitive grant program to support
California’s museums, administered by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE), a
State entity.
In less than four months, over 3,800 Californians have pre-ordered the special interest license
plate to support museums – which is more than half the number needed to establish the program.
The Department of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing the Snoopy license plates upon receipt of
7,500 paid applications.
The Snoopy plate is also an opportunity to commemorate Santa Rosa cartoonist and cultural icon
Charles Schulz. Jean Schulz, the widow of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, the Schulz family,
and Peanuts Worldwide are generously allowing access to the original drawing for this special
plate.
The California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) was established at the California State
Library in 2003. AB 482 (Atkins) transferred the CCHE to the California Natural Resources Agency
in 2014. CCHE grants have helped to preserve the many historic treasures that are California's
cultural legacy. Current funding for CCHE projects is from voter-approved Proposition 40 bonds
from the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of
2002. Approximately $122 million was appropriated to CCHE to distribute competitively for the
acquisition, restoration, preservation and interpretation of historical and cultural resources.
