Day 60 -- Spacetime

Watching Nova tonight, I learned that time moves more slowly when it's in motion.  Einstein theorized this, and scientists proved it in the 1970's.  They placed one atomic clock on a jet airplane and sent it around the world and kept the other atomic clock motionless, in one place.  The clock that didn't move was slightly ahead of the clock that was on the plane.  I guess the lesson here is that I need to keep moving to slow down time.  Silly, Einstein, I've known this all along.  Why do you think I stay so busy?
