[Robotgroup] AMAZING opportuneity! Calling All Roboteers! :)

I have always thought of the relativistic stuff as like the trains in 
the Doppler experiment.
To us we see light or other energy traveling past us.  If we get our 
train going at light speed the blurred other train passing us comes into 
focus and we've in effect entered another dimension. Our own then 
becomes a blurr.  With energy coming at us from all directions X,Y,And Z 
there are infinite choices of which dimension to choose.    Another way 
I used to think was that if E=MC Hammer etc. means that if we take a 
baseball and accelerate it to the speed of light squared it will become 
energy.  So, if we can find the right kind of energy catchers mitt we 
can slow down some light and get a free baseball, or at least some kind 
of mass.  Ooh, maybe that's how us sofa spuds seem to gain weight 
without trying. We are absorbing and slowing energy and converting it to 
mass.  Skinny folks like Brooks just kind of run between the photons 
like dodging raindrops.
