wicky and I were discussing this crap...


So what's the deal?

When you beat your own light, what happens? Or when it catches up? Or when you turn (because light is linear)?

Spit it all out...




Black holes... Gravity so intense even light cannot escape? Without mass, no gravity. With gravity, no mass. So how do you get gravity with no mass?



BTW, speed of light = (?) 299,792,458fps = 204,403,948.636mph

Two Hundred Four Focking Million.

what if you put a six pack of Dr. Pepper in your car and do 0.0000528sec to your house? Does it explode?

Well, if you accelerate it from 0-204,403,948.636-0mph in 0.0000528sec, the ing thing won't even have time to know what the hell is going on.

Then it'd explode.

Well I would really like to know what happens if you turn while you are faster than light? You probably pull more G's than Formula 1 cars thats for sure
