Of course, if, in reality, atom are NOT little red billiard balls, but quantum energies of dubious but probable location (my physics professor's words) then perhaps Mr Einstein, who was not conversant with this particular extension of his view of the world, is wrong. Perhaps, when one reaches those speeds, the probability of an particle being somewhere gets so unlikely that it really isn't _any_ of those places. It end up somewhere else. Gee, I kind of like that. Maybe I'll put it in my next book. –Ben–
