One of the pictures of Zhong Shan University posted by Kylelong, in which there are three boys under one umbrella, reminded me of my days in the college.
It was Shanghai, F university, summer, rainning. Under the umbrella, there were me and a beautiful girl. It also happened that my umbrella was tiny, so to keep our heads dry, we had no choice but to touch each other. Until this day, I have never bought any big umbrella, and I always get excited when rainy season starts, in case she wanted to share my umbrella again.
Late that day, after taking GRE review course, we started the discussion about who 吃到天鹅肉了. She said that I intentiionally moved my arm against her chest. Of course, that has never happened. I told her that the woolen hair from her sweater stucked on my shirt was the evidence that she was one 吃到 my 天鹅肉了. The discussion got hot, so were both of us, and later steamy.
When we cooled down a little, we continued with the discussion in a more scientic way. I told her that according to Newton's 3rd law, if I touched her, she for sure would have done the same to me. She is not of science major therefore did not quite know what the Newton's 3rd law was.
Who could beat Newton? Are you Einstein or what?
Before I giggled, she looked at me for a second or two, and said, I did not move in the reference of your frame according to Einstein's special relativity. To blame that "I moved" was simply meanless without a reference, she continued.
For next 6 months, I read extensively on relativity (which of course made my GRE score less than hers). Finally I got an answer against her argument.The Einstein's special relativity is only true in the uniform motion. When she put her chest against my arm, I was 100% sure that she was in an acceralated motion therefore her augment was not valid.
Before I had a chance to do that, we had already gone on with different life path. We both left the college, the city, the country. She intially came here, D city, Colorado. I am here, talking about her, and actually hoping she reads this and giggles about it.
Do I wish her to give me a chance to finish the argument? You bet. If it could be in a rainy day, F university, Shanghai, that would be even better.
