Monday Rude Humor: Einstein on Simultanaeity Edition
A much quoted quip by Einstein goes something like this:
Spend a minute with your hand on a hot stove, and it feels like an hour. Spend an hour with a pretty girl, and it feels like a minute. That’s relativity!
Hidden within relativity, if not the joke, is the insight derived from Einstein’s analysis of the relativity of simultanaeity. Think the famous lighting/train thought experiment.
Now comes xkcd’s reanalysis of the concept, to which, this being a family blog, I will link, and not embed.
Enjoy the week…..
