Relativity.
Objective
With the use of The Time Machine, and/or Clockstoppers,
explore the concept of time, the feasibility of time control, and
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
Design another variation on the way time and space could
function.
Project 2 - Watch Clockstoppers and discuss the possible
scientific problems with increasing the speed that a person travels through
space and time. Remember to take into consideration the concepts of aging,
atmospheric friction, and metabolism.
