NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Paris Hilton Wants To Find Out If The Stars Really Are Blind
This may well be just another one of her stupid publicity stunts, but Reuters reports that Paris Hilton will be joining Moby, William Shatner, Sigourney Weaver and 150 other worthies on Richard Branson’s first-ever commercial space flight, Virgin Galactic. But first she has to get over her fear of getting caught in a time warp and coming back to Earth 10,000 years in the future: “I’m very scared about it. … With the whole light years thing, what if I come back 10,000 years later, and everyone I know is dead? I’ll be like, ‘Great. Now I have to start all over.'"
Paris, a high school dropout, clearly is unaware that “light year” refers to the distance light travels in the vacuum of space in a year. She is referring to Einstein’s whole theory of relativity thing - which would theoretically kick in only if Branson’s space ship could travel at the speed of light.
