Mailing Address: Office: Robert Lee Moore Hall (RLM) 9.208 Physics Department Voice Phone: (512)471-9272 University of Texas Fax Phone: (512)471-0890 Austin, Texas 78712 E-mail: shepley@physics.utexas.eduHello: I retired a few years ago and now lead a life of idleness and irresponsibility. That may sound like being a professor, but I don't have to serve on committees! I still get mail at UTAustin. If you want to meet me at my UT office, please come to my office hours (which I maintain only when I teach) or make an appointment. When you call, be prepared to leave a message and possibly to wait some time for a reply.

This quiz will ask such questions as: Why is the speed of light constant? (The answer may or may not surprise you.) Will a relativistic tank fall into a tank trap? Can you send signals faster than light by pushing on a rigid rod? And more!
And please send me any corrections and suggestions you may have; there is a link to a submission form on the quiz itself.
