- Constant Speed - Mark Baldwin, 2005
- Themes
- Dance created to mark Einstein's centenary year
- Dance based around 3 theories: Brownian motion, Photoelectric effect and Special relativity
- Brownian motion - the erratic random movement of microscopic particles in fluid due to the continuous bombardment of molecules in the surrounding medium
- Photoelectric effect - the observation that metals emit electrons when light shines upon them, they are called photo electrons
- Special relativity - a physical theory of relativity based on the assumption that the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant and the assumption that the laws of physics are invariant in all inertial systems
