—Bad News

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) writes in his book, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,

“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news,
which obeys its own special laws.”

You had better remember this.

    True, true, true.
    Since light can circle the earth more than seven times within a single second, one better watch out!

    Talking about the speed of light, The International Herald Tribune brought a nice article last Friday, relating Einsteins special theory of relativity to our everyday lives. Read it at http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/09/30/opinion/edgreene.php . If you can’t hold back the excitement, you can find the original paper submitted by Einstein 100 years ago, at: http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/ .
