Default On Horsepower

I was fortuneate enough to ask a first grader what horse power was. This first grader quickly responded "Horsepower is how much power you need to drag a horse a mile a second." Now, seeing as I had no time to waste I quickly figured out that if you were to drag a horse a mile a second, first off the horse would be a very unhappy horse, which does not matter as the friction would make the horse burst into flames. So, in order to get this horse moving a mile a second we would have to get the horse off the ground. However, upon further pondering, I realised that a horse isn't that aerodynamic, and the friction of it moving a mile a second in air would still cause it to burn up. Therefore, a contraption would have to be created to get this horse into outerspace and accerlate it to the speed of a mile a second, this way the horse does not burn up with friction. However, upon EVEN FURTHER thought, how would one speed such a horse up to only a mile a second, it most likely would continue to speed up, seeing as there is no friction to discourage such rapid movement in space. The answer is simple, the horse continues to speed up until it creates a temporal flux, where it travels backwards in time until gravity pulls it back to earth and consequently kills the dinosaurs. This is a theory that I will get to in other different, but equally important entries.
