Enter the Relativity Challenge
An anonymous reader writes "Any slashdotters wanna pick up a lazy 25,000 Euros? All you have to do is explain Einstein's theory of relativity in a five minute multimedia presentation. The Pirelli Group have laid down this 'Relativity Challenge' to anyone as part of the International Year of Physics. Entries close on 31 March 2005."
Explain females to the slashdot crowd in 4 minutes, and I'll give the winner a copy of Duke Nukem Forever
It's a stepping-stone towards the ultimate goal: explaining Special Relativity in a haiku.
I'll take that challenge:
Light goes the same speed
For everyone everywhere
Funkiness ensues
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. -Einstein
I don't think it can be said much better.
