The odd facts thread?
Riddle me this:
If you were in a spaceship racing a beam of light, and you were moving at ninety-nine percent the speed of light, how much faster would the light be?
FYI - 1% is not the correct answer.

What if two rocket ships were racing the light beam and one was ninety-nine percent as fast as light and the other was fifty percent as fast? Can the light be faster than both of them by exactly the speed of light?
When hydrogen peroxide bubbles, it isn't really working. (Woo hoo for microbiology classes!!! It's because of the catalase enzyme, fyi.). If it does bubble, use alcohol.
There is no such thing as a brontosaurus.
Pickle juice cannot grow a live culture of bacteria. So go ahead and stick your hand in the pickle jar!

Time and motion and the speed of light are different for all observers. We dont notice it in daily life because the difference is very slight for slow-moving objects. But as you approach the speed of light, the differences become evident.
It is literally true that no two people share the same reality.
I would like to hear what your prof. thinks as well as yourself.
