Tell me a story

Recommended Posts

I'll give you somethin to think about.

Suppose you had a rocketship that could fly 3 times the speed of light. Could you balst off from the earth traveling to the moon, land quick, set up a telescope and point it at where you took offfrom earth.You could in theory watch yourself lift off....

whoaa that would be weird......

Of course you'd be watching it in reverse, with an infinite number of points to look at between you and the take-off point, so it'd be kind of hard to tell what you were watching. ;)

I once wondered if a compass on the moon would point toward Earth or not.
Answer : A compass on the moon would not give good readings at all because of the moon's erratic/weak magnetic field.
But you wanted a story...... This one time ..at skydive camp........ oh wait, i can't tell that one.
I was once accused of attempting to rob a bank, just because we sat in the parking lot waiting for someone and then went accross the street to make a call and then waited some more at the bank. Many cop cars and unmarked ones too. Shot guns were drawn and the car searched . Traffic held up for 2 miles. A squirt gun under the seat would have put us in jail for a while.
whew. Lucky for us the car was clean. Later that day we were driving around with beer (under aged we were) and waiving to all the cops. They waved back.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

The problem is that gravity causes light to bend. As you get farther out, the gravity at the center would cause it to bend completely around. Your headlights would then be behind you.

You would think you were behind someone and flash them to move over to the slow lane. You would also see the lights flashing in your rear view, everytime you move over, they move. You would get irritated with the person following you and shining their high-beams in your mirror. You get out and, in a fit of rage, shoot yourself.

Since you were dead back there, you can't be up here. You are existing and non-existing at the same instant, which is impossible, so reality ceases to exist. All because you are too high-strung.

Drive slower (less than the speed of light), leave 5 minutes earlier, and relax more. Otherwise, the universe may end and no one wants that on their conscience.
