  • Accelerated particles in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have been known to travel 700 million miles per hour, which is almost as fast as some drivers go on Interstate 95 or the Long Island Expressway.

  • Modern scientific cosmology had been officially born; because of its birth within the context of Einstein's theory of relativity, the new cosmology became quickly and broadly known as Relativistic Cosmology.

  • Two sprays of gold nuclei were accelerated in opposite directions along a circular track in an underground "atom smasher" called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S.

  • Relativistic effects were important when the universe was small, but adding that time period to time of the formation of the solar system will only increase the total proper time, not reduce it.

  • It should be noted that Non-Relativistic MOND is all well and good, but without the attempt to combine it with General Relativity, or another relativistic scheme, is it a severely limited picture (and not very useful in addressing dark matter “observations” involving gravitational lensing, etc.).

  • It is not necessary to believe that economics has the predictive precision of mathematics (or of Newtonian Mechanics in atomic-and-above scales, inside the bounds of a Relativistic Reference Frame) to believe that the evidence given points against the conclusion that Glass-Steagall repeal is not a significant cause of the crisis.
