 Matthew 18:20
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Camelot 
 
 
"On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road runs by
       To many-tower'd Camelot;"~~~TENNYSON: The Lady of Shalott
 
 
Trinidad Saldaña and the mesquite range! 🔥

"His third and chief pride in these declining years of a long frontier life was his granddaughter Trinidad, thirteen years old and as charming a child as could be found in the northern provinces. Petite and dark-haired, she was a lively young lady with a wonderfully free and outgoing nature better suited to a canter over the mesquite range than to an afternoon of sipping hot chocolate with the mission friars, and although she was not a vain girl, preferring at this stage in her life a good horse to a pretty dress, she did like to look trim and paid attention to her appearance."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch3 El Camino

Camilla: In Roman legend a virgin queen of the Volscians. Virgil (Eneid, vii, 809) says she was so swift that she could run over a field of corn without bending a single blade, or make her way over the sea without even wetting her feet.
"Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain, Flies o'er the unbending corn and skims along the main."~~~POPE: Essay on criticism, 372.

Lorentz Contraction

Psalm 18:27

"For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks."


“We were wiser in the lore of survival”~~~John Hersey


















Why does Lorentz contraction only act in the direction of motion?

Physicist: A lot of things get messed up by relativity, like when and where stuff happens, how massive things are, or how time passes.  Length contraction is an effect that literally makes things shorter in the direction of motion.  So if something whipped by you from left to right it would be thinner, but just as tall.

Which begs the question, why is it just as tall?  Why doesn’t it just shrink all over, or something?
Well, one of the things that relativity doesn’t change is whether or not an “event” actually happens.  So imagine this: you’ve got two hoops spanned by paper, and they’re flying at each other face-on.  If the paper in a hoop is torn out, then you’ve got an event that everyone will agree on.  No matter where you are or how fast you’re moving, you’ll see that the paper was torn.  The only thing relativity affects is when and where that event takes place.
