Enter Captain Maja Einstein! She takes you on a tourist boat trip in the city centre of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ghent#Tourism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ghent<\/a>, in a dreamworld with a slow speed of light. This brings relativity to a human scale, allowing for a direct experience of all its beautiful effects.<\/p>\n<p>After this trip your view on space, time and all in between will probably not\u00a0quite be the same anymore.\u00a0 You might want to check out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/captaineinstein.org\/index.php\/science\/\">science <\/a>section to alleviate some of the resulting confusion and learn more about what you have actually seen.
