Urashima Effect

This collection is inspired by the speed and the difference occurs from the flow of time which could cause the Urashima effect. These days the effect of time dilation which is found out by Einstein is sometimes called the Urashimas effect as the Eistein's theory. The name of the Urashima effect comes from the Japanese fairy tale - Urashima Taro. - Urashimas Taro who is a fisherman who is rewarded for rescuing a turtle, and carried on its back to the Ryugu-jo (Palace) where lies beneath the sea. There he is entertained by the princess Otohime as reward. He spends what he believes to be 4-5 days, but upon his return to his home village, he finds himself 300 years in the future,  when he opens the box which he was told never to open, he turns into an old man.
