Sign: ASK PROFESSOR SCIENCE
T-Rex: He's the guy whose mail I steal! Hah hah hah!
T-Rex: Anyway, our first letter comes from Yorick!
T-Rex: Yorick writes, "Dear Prof. Sci., if the speed of light were SLOWER than the speed of sound, what would change?" Great question, Yorick! And the answer is you'd HEAR baseballs hitting your face before you saw them.
T-Rex: Next!
Utahraptor: Actually, that's not true: light speed's the speed limit of the universe, remember!
T-Rex: So?
Utahraptor: So sound CAN'T go faster than light. If light speed were slower, then sound would be slower too, and we'd all live in a pretty fascinating universe. Relativistic speeds being easily attainable, we could slow our aging simply by going for a jog, or taking a ride on a fast-moving plane.
〚Utahraptor's speech is partly obscured by T-Rex's thought balloons〛
Utahraptor: …ch as the rich becoming functionally immortal … speed! Not to mention … fact that all computati…uld slow down as lightspee… which could also aff… our …peed of thought … it down i… simply … explore what ex… would be like if …hat we take for
T-Rex: 〚thinks〛 Dang! This was MY question and Utahraptor's talking all over my answer!
T-Rex: 〚thinks〛 If he's so smart why doesn't HE open other people's mail??
