Thoughts to You from Yours Truly ( TYYT ) - ( 29 ) - SPECIAL RELATIVITY IN A NUTSHELL (狹義相對論精粹 ) - Entry # 1 of Oct., 13, 2010.

Relativity goes much deeper than the notion that everything is relative. Its tenet rests on the constant speed of light which conveys to us the sense of time. Given that space-time is a continuum tied by the constant speed of light any faster movement through space must be compensated by the slowing down of time to keep the constant. For a faster traveller time slows down more. This is the awesome discovery by Einstein . Now, you know why life could really be an illusion !

狹義相對論精粹不只說事物是沒有絕對性的。它的基礎是在光速是固定的，而光給我們時間的感覺。由於時與空是由光速度相連的，在空間移動快了，在時間上必須慢下來，以保持固定的光速。速度越快，時間越慢。這便是愛因斯坦的驚人發現。現在你明白生命是幻覺的道理了！
