    Relativity question

    I got in at nine thirty, I've been here for what seems like 7 hrs, and yet it's only quarter to eleven.

    How fast am I moving?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Not fast enough to stop typing it seems. Speed up.

      You may be experiencing some time dilation effects as you might be in the presence of a large mass.

      Try looking around the office for a large porker gorging on a KFC family bucket and move further away. If you can't then you may be within her event horizon.

        You might be on to something. I'm the only person in my office and I'm the only person I have ever worked with who has ever bought a KFC family bucket back to their desk. Although I did share some of the chips.

          Fatty. Do you have your own gravity field? Do you find objects attach themselves to you?

          You know what they say about assumptions!

            Everyone does, to some extent.

            I've always put that down to magnetism

              Relative to what?
              Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                My lunch, which I have been waiting bloody ages for.

                  Right now I have some perspective.

                    Run away from the office, the closer you get to light speed the more relative time will have passed when you get back.

                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
