PHY 387K:
http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/jk1/lectures/node8.html

-- Richard Fitzpatrick 2002-05-18

Examine equation (36) at the end of node 8
It says the faster you travel, the longer it will take to arrive.
If you travel at the speed of light you'll arrive at your destination
in no time at all, but you'll take forever to get home again.

If you think a politician knows how to govern a country because he
kisses babies at election time then you'll probably think a physicist
understands physics because he writes papers.

"I'm not a physicist, but I play one at university". --Richard Fitzpatrick

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

A line from the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare
Something is rotten in the state of Texas.

Learn some physics, Sue. The faster you go, the LESS time it
takes to get there.
