Yeah I will do it later on tonight after I nap and brush up a bit on some reading on the topic.

sound goes faster when the source moves toward you and slows down when the source moves away from you

@previous (F)Agree with you on that. However the simple Doppler effect played a profound role in proving Relativity. (Red Shift)
Add that to Relativistic Doppler effect.
I needed to refresh up on Relativistic Doppler effect and found this cool graphic from Wiki - Another one is to large for MC to handle and no time to imgur URL

The faster you go, the slower time is. You're welcome.

General relativity is a geometric model of spacetime. It basically says that matter and energy curve spacetime and that curves in space time effect an objects path by making it follow the curve. That's pretty much it.

@previous (squeegee !hbZVTk6JYc)This is a case of curves in space time..If you have the time to follow the curves. That's pretty much it.

A woman who looked like this has no reason to study anything, ever. Okay, maybe how to stay this fucking hot into well into her 40s, but anything beyond that is a waste of her time, skills and talent.
