Write a journal entry in which you pretend to be a person traveling through the North, as depicted in The Call of the Wild, for a year. Write three paragraphs as if they are three separate diary entries, from the perspective of this traveler. Your writing should explain events from three different periods of time within the year (days, months, or seasons). Pay close attention to the words you use to show that time is passing in your diary.
Your response should be at least 150 words in total.

Answer:
The round-trip (discounting the time needed to "turn around") should be one year according to the clock you are carrying
(this is your proper time interval Δt0 ) and 1000 years according to the clocks on Earth, which measure
Δt. We solve Eq.
37−7 for β
β=1−(ΔtΔt0)2=1−(1000y1y)2=0.99999950
(b) The equations do not show a dependence on acceleration (or on the direction of the velocity vector), which suggests that a circular journey (with its constant magnitude centripetal acceleration) would give the same result (if the speed is the same) as the one described in the problem. A more careful argument can be given to support this, but it should be admitted that this is a fairly subtle question that has occasionally precipitated debates among professional physicists.
