**Homework Twist**A cruise ship has enough food to supply 50 passengers for 20 days. How many days would the same supply last if there were only 35 people on board instead?---In this problem, students are asked to apply concepts related to proportions and ratios. By determining the relationship between the number of passengers and the number of days the supplies can last, students can solve for the new duration under changed conditions.

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.
