Imagine yourself in a future where technology has advance such that we can travel near the speed of light. The starship Explorer travels at 99.5% the speed of light (LaTeX: \gamma\:=\:10γ = 10). You are the top science officer on at trip to Trappist-1 star system which contains 7 Earth like planets! Trapist-1 is 40 light years away. The Explorer reaches max speed at launch and you measure the distance to Trapist-1. What distance will you measure?
How long will it take you to get there?
Once you arrive you send at a radio wave signal back to Earth, how long will it take for them to receive it?
You spend 4 years exploring the system and return back to Earth at the same speed.
How much total time will your mission have taken according to the people on Earth?
What is your favorite part of Einstein's theory of relativity?

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
