Let's take a look
at another example.

:06:33
Say Amy is out for
a leisurely drive in her VW bug...

:06:37
and along comes Eddie
in his Ferrari.

:06:41
Hey, come on, that could happen.
Totally.

:06:43
So, you're doing 20.
:06:45
Eddie's doing 220.
:06:47
-What does he look like when he goes by?
-I don't know.Just a blur, I guess.

:06:51
Exactly. And if he was going fast
enough, you wouldn't see him at all.

:06:54
From Eddie's point of view, you would
look as if you were standing still.

:06:58
And that is a basic example...
:07:01
of Einstein's theory
of what, Eddie?

:07:03
Highway safety.
:07:05
Relativity.
:07:07
Relativity.
:07:08
- Didn't do your reading assignment?
- That's a funny story.

:07:11
See, science is a discipline.
:07:14
This department has trained
some of the best minds in the world.

:07:17
But nobody ever gets there
by just coasting along.

:07:21
I don't mean to sound like your father,
but I take pride in my students.

:07:24
I want to see them succeed. That means
doing the work, being persistent and...

:07:35
We'll fiinish up Einstein when I get back
from the applied science congress.

:07:39
In the meantime,
you guys have a couple days off...

:07:43
to prepare for your midterm.
:07:54
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, Zak.

:07:57
This is a rare honor.
:07:59
Come on, I visit you at work
every now and then.
