[Phys-l] relativity song



On VH1 Classic tonight, they are doing a story on the band Queen.
Guitarist Brian May was discussing their 1975 song, '39, which he said was
about a spaceship leaving Earth and traveling at nearly the speed of
light. Mentioned some time dilation effects. Very interesting! More
details can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'39

I'm a huge music fan and also teach physics, and wanted to share this with
the group.
