Excursions at the Speed of Light

D4C5CE writes "S/F fans can finally find out what you really get to see at relativistic velocity, and tourists are one step closer to "doing Europe in a day" in these amazing Space Time Travel simulations of the Theoretical Astrophysics & Computational Physics department at the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics Tübingen. They put you in a driver's seat that both Armstrong the Astronaut and Armstrong the Cyclist would equally enjoy, in simulators built to ride a bike at the speed of light."

    All this is, of course, assuming Einstein was right (and I think some experiment somewhere proved these effects to be correct)

    Of course he was right. He stole all his ideas from some of the greatest scientists of his time. He didn't include any references in his paper and pretended that he just came up with his ideas entirely on his own. To explain this irregularity, the media portray him as one the most intelligent people ever to have walked the earth. Einstein was a freud... I mean fraud. Oops, Freudian slip.
