I'm a Systems and Process auditor. Without my work, you'd have to substantively test everything.
I hereby give reliance on the 'Ask Monica' system. The controls surrounding the process are weak and ill-enforced, but the compensating control of Monica's omnipotence more than makes up for it. If you need any help, give me a shout. lol.
In the meantime... here's a dilly of a pickle...
You're in your s2000 (obviously), travelling at the speed of light (regular saturday afternoon). You turn your headlights on. What happens?

When the headlights come on at the speed of light it pulls power from the alternator temperarily slowing the S slightly below the speed of light. Once lights are on all the way the "S" regains full speed. Then while at full speed the S and the projected ray of light from the headlights continue to travel at the speed of light with the ray of light in a slight lead over the S due to the S itself temperarily losing speed during the headlight power on phase.

And, how much energy would it take for an s2k to achieve near lightspeed velocity? If an african swallow was sitting in the passenger seat?

Monica, well done, so does this mean that you think light is a wave or a particle?

A simple formula exists for this problem. But that is not important, since an african swallow weighs less than 400 lbs. (400 lbs. = maximum cabin carry load for s2k), it is the same as necessary to make any s2k reach lightspeed.
