Transcript:
Calvin: You know, Dad, it disturbs me that this wagon has no seat belts and wouldn't survive a 30 mph impact with a stationary object. Dad: Um..why do you bring this up? Calvin: Oh, no reason. Want to help me test the theory of relativity? Hobbes: Sure. Calvin: The idea is that the faster we go, the slower time goes. Hobbes: Gotch. It's 10:23. Calvin: What time is it now? Hobbes: 10:24. Go faster. Calvin: We're going pretty fast! What time is it? Hobbes: 10:25. Time still hasn't stopped. Calvin: Has time stopped now? Hobbes: No, just my heart. Calvin: Well, it looks like Einstein's a fraud, wouldn't you say? Hobbes: No, he's right! Look, my watch isn't going at all anymore!!

They should have left another watch at their starting point and then compared the two.

No, no, no. The way to prove the theory of relativity is to do as Einstein said: “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.”

I must also say that Calvin has a point in the title panel—but he shouldn’t have brought it up, because now Dad will worry or tell him not to do something he’s gonna do anyway.
