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."
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.
