I had some weird dreams last night.
Did you know they say that Einstein founded his theory of relatively thanks to a dream he had?
In his dream, he stumbled across some cows along an electric fence. The fence gave the cows a shock, causing them to jump all at the same time. However, a farmer at the other end of the fence also saw the cows jump, just one at a time.
Eureka!
Einstein woke up with the realization that the same event can appear differently to different observers based on their position, because light takes different amounts of time to reach their eyes.
Now, I'm not sure that any of us figure out E=mc^2, but have you had a similar experience with dreams before?
