In
his book “Spanish Conversations”, Camilo José Cela interviews
different well-known people from Art and Politics. In the interview
to the musician Andrés Segovia, you can read, among other wits, the
following:
- Do you love velocity?
- Relatively, I´m not really into velocity either. Furthermore, one more thing: the speed of light is wonderful. So, what do we have to make an effort for, if we won´t ever reach that speed?
First
of all, I like the question. I think you can know a lot about a
person according to his answer to that.
However,
what I really love is the answer. I love its beginning with
“relatively” and its ending with the knowledge of relativity that
the musician shows. Because it´s true, a particle can´t exceed the
speed of light.
In
case that Chilindrón points it out to me, I must say that I know
that once there was a piece of news in papers about the possibility
to exceed the speed of light. But I only believe what I studied in
text books, not what I read in papers.
