Abstract
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Don't Laugh at “Slow” Sailing: Average Versus Instantaneous Motion Motion Relative to What? – Galilean Relativity But There are No Fixed Reference Frames – Special Relativity General Relativity – Can it Really Matter?
physics/metaphysics for the sailor, whether being Einstein in understanding sailing Einstein's love for sailing, as a measure of his greatness ghosting along in a zephyr, meaning the use of “relativity” energy in sailboat propulsion, the ubiquitous wind for unlimited travel speed of fastest powerboats paling, with start to finish being zero “reference frame” points and “origin” of reference frame, with “0” Einstein on problem of electromagnetism, with Gedankenexperiment, sailing measures
