Entonces llega el Dr. Paul Langevin (gracias Wikipedia) y te dice, sí, todo muy lindo, pero si hay dos señores (para hacerlo más dramático: hermanos gemelos) y uno se toma el 39 hasta Alfa Centauri, a velocidades cercanas a la de la luz, y vuelve, resulta que el viajero permaneció joven y el otro con suerte sigue vivo. ¿No es que el movimiento es relativo? Ahí tenés, la paradoja de los gemelos.
Porque para emociones fuertes, el transporte público. |
Pongamos entonces que una nave sale con voluntarios a buscar un planeta habitable. Pongamos que encontraron el planeta y prepararon la colonia. Pongamos que alguno vuelve para avisar. Pongamos que alguien piense que esa historia tiene un aire country, de colonos llegando a América. Pongamos que ese alguien se llama Brian May y les compone una canción.
Aquí está: '39
In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life,
Still ahead,
Pity Me.
