Albert Einstein and a Pretty Girl
I noted in the paper this morning a mention that this year marks the 100th anniversary of Relativity. Einstein supposedly explained the complex theory this way:
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."
The other day I came across a wonderful flight of fancy based on that quote
Scientific American: Einstein's Hot Time
Great theoreticians know that hypothesis must be confirmed with experiment.
Enjoy!
