Cameron McEvoy on worm holes, travelling in time, dinosaurs and e=mc2

WORM holes dinosaurs and e=mc2. Cameron McEvoy is passionate about science, so when we approached him for a physics lesson, he blew our minds. WATCH HERE.

CAMERON McEvoy has made no secret of his passion for science so when we approached the Australian swimming sensation for a lesson, he was more than willing to oblige.

Safe to say he blew our minds.

Currently studying for a Bachelor of Science honours degree with a major in physics and mathematics at Griffith University, McEvoy will be avoiding the post-Olympic pomp and celebrations in Rio in favour of attending a physics research facility, to meet people “doing jobs in the field I want to be in when I’m older.”

We asked him to explain the most mind blowing thing he knew; cue an impassioned 10 minute tutorial on the twin paradox and how we could travel through a wormhole to walk with dinosaurs.

“Say you had an identical twin, and you stayed on earth and your twin went off in a space ship and travelled for a year, very close to the speed of light,” he explained.

“When they came back your twin would be a year older than when they left but you would be 50, 60, 70 years older.”
