Very interesting.

To what text are you referring when you say, "The first section ofthe book is worth reading for further background. 'The modern world began 29 May 1919 when photographs of a solar eclipse....', thus began relativity"?

Relativism abrogates neither laws nor moral behavior. It merely abrogates the idea of one all encompassing way of laws or moral behavior.

Many people argue that I, as a relativist, cannot be moral and support anarchy. Nothing could be further from the truth.

So I should send you out to explain this to many of the people who argue with me. But you don't need to discuss it with me. I've discussed this far too many times to want to do it again.

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."

- Einstein, Albert
