Groups at the University of California in Los Angeles and Tech-X Corporation in the US are already exploring Vay's time-saving method for simulating relativistic experiments. Nevertheless, the question remains of why such a simple consequence of relativity has never surfaced. "Computer simulations didn't exist when relativity was invented," said Vay. "It's plausible that the effect was identified early on by the founders of relativity, but didn't lead them to any interesting applications."

True, but the question we really (and I can't put enough emphasis on how much we really need to ask it) need to ask is.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

That is the question.

ChadTower:

Can we apply a computer simulation to that?
