spend so much time in pubs and only get home in the early hours of the morning.
The reason for this odd behaviour is based on Einstein's famous Relativity Theory.
It works like this: it is a well known fact that the more you drink, the faster you move.
After about 8 beers (or 4 double brandies & coke, etc), you're moving at close to the
speed of light, and this is where Einstein enters the picture.
According to his Relativity Theory, any body moving at, or close to the speed of light,
undergoes Time Dilation, i.e. time for you in the pub passes slower than for an observer
outside the pub. Complicated calculations have shown that the pub becomes a type of
time machine:- for every half-hour spent inside the pub, something like two hours
pass outside the pub. A typical situation is:
"OK guys, it's 8 O'clock, I'm gonna surprise the family and get home early!!"
However, the moment this person steps outside the pub, the time travel effect is
negated by negative radiation from the environment, and he/she then goes:
"WHAT THE??!!?? - why is it so quiet?? Oh no!!! It's half past one!! WHAT HAPPENED???!!??"
.....and the answer, of course, is Time Dilation!!
I've tried to explain this to outside observers, but so far nobody
(except fellow time travellers) has been able or willing to understand the sound
scientific basis of this phenomenon.
Please forward this to all your known time travellers - maybe we can prove this theory
by sheer, overwhelming force of numbers.
