So driving 88mph in a DeLorean won’t do it, eh?

Actually, it would. Einstein provides an equation for that. All you need to do is plug in the object’s speed, and the time that the object is at that speed.

The equation will tell you how much the object jumped into the future. Without doing the calculation, a car going 88 mph for a month might jump a trillionth of a second into the Earth’s future. Nobody would notice that.

Now here’s the interesting thing. An experiment was done with the Concord flying to Europe. Einstein’s equation predicted how much the plane would jump into the future. Nobody noticed it, as it was way less than a second. But an atomic clock picked it up. It read just as Einstein’s equation said it would.

Ol’ Albert was one smart guy.
