Description

James, aged 7, asks the nerds about the speed of light.

He wants to know why light is the fastest thing in the universe and we tell him all about the weirdness revealed by Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Objects get heavier. Space shrinks. And time slows down!

James also throws in a question about hair growth at the end. He has been wondering why hair grows in strange places as we get older. Oh dear.
