WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE KIDS OF TODAY?
FOR INSTANCE, WE (THAT IS YOU AND I) FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE OF: -
E=MC². WHERE E=ENERGY, M=MASS, AND C THE SPEED OF LIGHT X BY ITSELF.
HOWEVER, AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, E=MC² CANNOT EXEED THAT OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
AS YOU ARE WELL AWARE, ENERGY AND MASS ARE BASICALY THE SAME.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THAT IF YOU BURN A MATCH, THE MATCH GIVES OF ENERGY.
IF WE COLLECT ALL OF THAT ENERGY, YOU REMEMBER, SMOKE, HEAT, GASES AND THE CHARED MATCH, WE WILL HAVE THE SAME MASS, AND WEIGHT OF THE ORIGINAL.
TAKE A FIVE-POUND LUMP OF COAL, YOU REMEMBER COAL, THE BLACK STUFF WE USED TO BURN ON OUR FIRE. WELL, WHEN WE BURNED IT, THE COAL GAVE OFF LITTLE ENERGY. OH, WE COULD TOAST A SLICE OF BREAD, BUT IF WE COULD HARNESS THE POTENTIAL ENERGY OF THAT SAME LUMP OF COAL, WE COULD PRODUCE FIVE BILLION KILOWATT-HOURS OF ENERGY. AREN’T YOU JUST ITCHING TO TRY IT?
REMEMBER WHEN THE TEACHER ASKED US TO EXPALIN WHAT GRAVITY WAS, AND UP WOULD GO OUR EAGER HANDS, “PLEASE SIR, PLEASE SIR” AND THE LUCKY ONE WOULD EXPLAIN:-
Any pair of objects has a force of attraction between them that is proportional to the product of the masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them.
GOLLY, THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
YOU KNOW, IT TOOK ME AGES TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLE OF SPEED, ACCELERATION, AND VELOCITY. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I WENT UP INTO THE JUNIORS
THAT IT EVENTUALLY SUNK IN. GEE, I WAS SLOW THEN.
CAN YOU STILL REMEMBER THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY, REMEMBER, THE ONE PUT FORWARD BY ALBERT, (NOT THE ONE AT THE ZOO). THAT WAS A CURLY ONE, BUT WE GOT IT IN THE END. IT WAS REALLY SIMPLE WASN’T IT? A PERSON IN A LIFT IS SEEN BY AN OUTSIDE AS GOING DOWN, HOWEVER, THE PERSON IN THE LIFT, BEING ENCLOSED, THINKS THAT THEY ARE STATIONARY, BEING ABLE TO WALK AROUND AND DO WHATEVER THEY DO IN LIFTS, HE SEES THE PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE LIFT GOING UP. THAT IS IF THE LIFT HAD A GLASS FRONT.
WHAT GETS ME IS THAT THOUGHT THAT THE LIKES OF YOUR AND I HAVE ALL OF THIS KNOWLEDGE, BUT DO OUR KIDS ASKES US THE QUESTIONS? IT IS MOST FRUSTRATION.
