[Phys-L] The essence of Einstein



http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-
dyn/content/article/2005/05/04/AR2005050401877.html :

"In Einstein's universe, the speed of light is a constant, and everything
else is negotiable. Objects dilate as they go faster. Simultaneity doesn't
exist. There is no fixed point in space, no absolute master clock in the
universe. You may have heard the one about Einstein in bed with a woman,
and he says, defensively, "For YOU it was fast."
