Proving relativity right easily
If I didn't undestand it wrong, acording to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, time isn't absolute, but depends of gravity, and speed. So if you travel nearer to the speed of light than something else, time passed slower for you, so when you return (in the classic sci-fi novel fashion) after your interstellar trip you found out all the people you know is already dead long ago and several years have passed, while for you it was just a matter of weeks maybe. I know I've read somewhere there's been a couple of fancy experiments to prove Albert's theory outside the theoretical world. I'll tell you how to prove it for yourself, and almost effortlessly. What's more, I'll prove Einstein was quite a bit off with his calculations and that the phenomena can easily observed.

Well, you'll need a girlfriend (A)(in worst of cases could be anyone else), yourself (B), a transportation device (C), like a car, a bike, or even a bus would do, and a clock of some kind (D).
So, for the sake of science, do not tell your subject you're conducting an experiment, or you'll bias the results.
Now, check A's appointments and tell her you can pick her up when she's ready. Ask her at which time you should be there. Be sure to remember this info well, maybe even write it down somewhere. Then leave and wait for that particular time to come. Be sure to be all the way across the city at the mentioned time, use the clock to verify this. Then get into your C and start approaching the meeting point. It's obvious at this time that you won't be able to reach that point in time. Do not look at the clock but try your best to arrive in time, as dumb as it may sound. When you're there, ask A (probably after hearing her complain) how late you was. She'll probably say at least double what you think it took for you to get there. How's this possible? Is it psychological? Nop. It's relativity baby.

Explain your soulmate you were traveling closer to the speed of light than she was, so what it seemed like a mere minutes to you, but she felt like it was at least half an hour. I'm listening proposals from NASA to take this further with monkeys, russian dogs, and a tricycle.
