Einstein and Boat Shrinkage
Einstein explained that the faster one goes, the smaller the dimensions of objects become until, at the speed of light, that contraction causes those objects to become infinitesimally tiny.
My boat must be much faster than I thought because I have found that as I venture father offshore where the wind and sea get up and my boat gets a bone in her teeth, then she begins to grow smaller and smaller. Given this phenomenon of physics, it is clear to me that in the grand scheme of things, no boat can ever be big enough.
Images speak louder than words.
