I very much enjoyed your relativity theory experiment sur la TGV. Unfortunately, you were relying on the Special Theory of Relativity, which doesn't work for time-contraction. What you needed was the General Theory of Relativity, which requires enormous accelerations. Maybe we need to put you on a rocket to *really* test the theory! :)
I enjoy your column every week, and typically buy one or more of your selections.
