A Student's Frustrated Rant About Time Dilation and University Teaching

Published on January 10, 2025

Summary

A short, satirical/rant-style piece where the author complains about time dilation and relativity from the perspective of an autodidact who dislikes formal education. The author criticizes their university (WLU) and an Astronomy 101 professor named Dr. Gandhi, using exaggerated, informal, and profane language. The piece is more of a personal vent than a substantive argument about physics.

As an autodidact, I hate time dilation and relativity. Fast objects move faster through time, which sucks for someone like me, who likes going fast.

WLU, my favourite corporate indoctrination hellhole ripe with aimless underage drinkers, pays professors enough to have less-than-zero enthusiasm when teaching bibliography formats.

My teaching methods aren't shitty you bitchy freshman!
