Lately I have been reading a lot of science fiction. Jay, a friend of mine at Georgia Tech, got me hooked and now to keep up with holding my own in a lunch conversation, I have to keep reading. Jay is one of those people who can answer your question by flipping over a paper placemat at a diner and draw 40 equations in two minutes and then say, “That's why it won't work.”
He knows that there is legitimacy to the science fiction technique of slowing time down when you approach the speed of light.
