How fast does it take electricity to go from on point on earth to another point on the other side of the earth, assuming a metal  wire could stretch between these two points?  You'll have to do some research and find the speed of light and the circumference of the earth.  Remember that we have a quantitative center that can help you if you find this part of the assignment not intuitive, which is perfectly Ok in this class! :-)
