There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.
-Limerick published in London humor magazine “Punch” in 1923.
I set out on Tuesday night at 10 and arrived at Tuesday afternoon at 1.
There was no relativity and no speed of light involved, though.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner twin jet that brought us to Seattle traveled at a posted speed of 563 mph (per flightaware.com).
I’m looking to the south from inside the long pedestrian overpass that connects the Main Terminal (International Arrivals Facility) to the South terminal at Seattle-Tacoma airport.
