I haven't gotten a chance to study relativistic physics in great detail but from what I have read so far, Einstein's theories certainly do make sense. (and experiments involving the decay-time of particles moving at speeds near C show the relativity ideas to be correct)

BTW mikhael, I just visited your website out of curiosity; are you into Lego stuff? I am a complete Technic fanatic and also like some Space stuff. I frequently post on the lugnet.technic newsgroup and run a Technic-related website; I really need to start updating it again...

I can see what ants might have to do with holidays. (To sort out this piece of argument I think you need to define exactly what sentience is) I can sort of see how the destiny/fate thing might have to do with holidays (there is such a thing as destiny but it can be influenced up to a point by anyone)
But exactly how do Einstein and Newton's theories relate to the topic? And why does it matter who's right or wrong?

And why does it matter who's right or wrong?

We're discussing the things that make-up the universe and dictate how it works, and you can't see why this matters?

Sorry I won't read all that, anyway this part kept my attention. the result:
     
Woah!! to have holidays means being intelligent!!!  
What the hell??? Does wasting time doing nothing makes a species sentient??????? I don't think we would be that advanced if our prehistoric ancestors just put their fat a$$ every sunday, every birthday, every "celebration of the fire falling from: the sky that toasted the mammoth".
Hollydays??? Don't get me wrong, I like holidays (of course :rolleyes , but I don't see what makes holidays a proof of sentientness (?). pff, come on, it's nothing incredible, it's just a rest time. Oh! Animals are much wiser than we are: when they're tired, they stop doing stuff, and rest. us superiors humans will keep on working till it's 6pm, saturday, etc etc etc, and will then only get a break, ignoring the fact that the last hours of work were made in a hurry, negligence etc. Whoa, advanced behaviour this is, little bug

the only reason we need holidays is because our society is fundamentally opposed to the way we should natyrally function.

We force ourselves to live this way, we also force people who DONT want to live this way into living like it.  Then wonder why we have terrorism.  Idiots.

How do holidays apply to people on Spaceships? I know from SC that they do usually have rememberence ceremonies etc.
