I should add that this has to do with relativity in an immediate way, because, for my daughter, the ability to apprehend distance (space) is impaired. For most of us, distance is "computed" by the brain through "duration." I.e., how long it takes to get from point A to point B. Thus, my daughter cannot drive because she has no sense of how long (how far) anything is from anything else. And, this is just one of many everyday life lessons impacted by relativity. peace, Ken --------------------------- Kenneth Frazier kennybod@xxxxxx kennybod@xxxxxxx
