Letter on the symbolical interpretation of human speed of thought and information processing through Einstein’s Theories of Special and General relativity, or: Thinking at (nearly) the speed of light.

Albert Einstein devised his theories of Special and General Relativity regarding time dilation and length contraction for relativistic speeds and the curvature of spacetime in gravitational fields, respectively. In this Letter, Einstein’s theories are used symbolically to view the divergent speeds of thought and information processing capabilities of persons who can be categorised as being faster or slower than the median capacity of human beings and depending on perturbative influences such as the intake of drugs, mental disorders or higher-than-average or lower-than-average intellectual gifts.
