Magnets, radio waves, infrared light, x-rays, radioactivity, sound, bats and echolocation (sonar), gravity. At this very moment: millions of telephone calls and text messages are passing through your body, and every radio and television signal, and bombarded by solar neutrinos. Trillions pass through your body every second, at close to the speed of light. Scientists understand them in detail, can predict their behavior with precision. In einstein"s special theory of relativity, there is no such thing as time in the singular. Time passes differently for different observers, depending on the observers" motion. The prime example is that of the two hypothetical twins: one of them stays at home, on earth. The twin on earth has aged by 30 years during that time. 2100 metres underground in inco"s creighton nickel mine. 2015 the nobel prize for physics awarded to arthur b. mcdonald for the discovery of neutrino masses.
