Shower Copernicuses

Pi: .....And so the Earth revolves round the sun.
Julie: Christ! You really think I'm Gonna believe all that shit with all those fancy names? I really am not as dumb as I look. Sheesh!

The Einstein KLPD Theory

CERN might have been able to get its much needed dose of publicity after Dan Brown gave them a bit. But, its only because of the fact that they have found evidence to OUR theory! Thank you CERN for shedding light on our theory and spending billions of dollars on it to confirm!

Today we shall attempt the impossible and the unthinkable. Today is the day everything you know about your world will take a spin. This will twist your brain so hard you wont remember which way it was. If you thought Einstein got it all figured out, you were wrong man. Totally erroneous!
[How is our formal-research-paper-English going? Good huh? :) ]

For a while now, we have been pondering over our third-grade physics about motion. And particularly, relative motion. It seems obvious to everyone including us that we take 0 as our reference.
We mean to say, if a train at 50kmph passed your train travelling at 60kmph, then the speed would be 110. Not doubting that. No.
What we need to realise is our speed is relative anyhow. With base as 0. So, we're travelling with 60kmph w.r.t. still objects. Right?

Now, we're nearing 2012. Not that we think the world is going to end; that its time we became a bit adventurous and live a few months on our new theory. I mean, sure its part of our convincing act. But, really, hell we can calculate the amount of hair Anil Kapoor has on his palms (BIG SHOT CALCULATION).
So, in lieu of our calculating prowess, We propose :





To take reference as the speed of light.


Speed of light is, as we all know, the unconquerable speed. So, its an obvious choice to consider it.
The beauty of this theory is that relative motion still remains the same. Only thing happening is our perception of "faster" or "slower" will get reversed.
Take for example the previous train passing instance.
The same train's speed is now : c-50
Your train's speed : c-60.
So, relative : (c+60) - (c+50) = 10.
So, the perception gets reversed. Earlier, we used to add the speeds. Now, we subtract.
We thought the train was travelling faster when it passes us? Sadly...it goes slower. 10kmph to be exact.

Applying this concept to our daily lives, we find :

1. Usain Bolt is the slowest person on the planet.
2. Ayas Ranjan is the fastest!
3. Neutrinos, considered faster than light, are actually the slowest-moving (oxymoron!) particle in the universe! Utsav Raghuvanshi, a middle aged man, dubbed it "Absolute rest". I concur.
4. Time travel is what we're doing right now! It has always been possible. Just that we didn't realise we're in one!

More to come...stay resonating!
