I didn't notice at the time but now that you pointed it out we are having a very good time with it around here. Everyone in the room has had his laugh.

I know, I know, the tabs are on the same button.

So Einstein saw in his minds eye that if velocity increases something has to give, with light a constant, the only thing that can give is time and it must slow accordingly.

But how could that be, time is just an idea. Guess not-lol!?

He thought about Iight day and night for years. "What is this light" he would ask?

Eventually he saw that no matter what, light always traveled at 186,000 miles per second. so it was a constant and could not change.

So time had to slow if velocity increased. Only way the equation works.

That was what was missing in Newton's equations. They were always a little off, but everyone overlooked that----until the great rebel Einstein said: "you can't do that". They must work perfectly.
