Why are undead mind-slaves so adorabloodthirsty? Also pretty impressive, we never built ourselves a throne. Or took a whole city either. We kind of suck at this compared to her, who is a child.

Anyway, ask her how things went while walking around on a tour. Get Diane, Sasha and Bennie out from the van too. Maybe bring a small guard group too.

Is there actually any proof that you can't go faster than the speed of light?
It's so widely accepted, but I'm pretty sure that nothing has ever been accelerated and measured to a speed anywhere near.

Homestuck is over. We don't need any more. This has completed it.
I don't even understand what that guy was trying to say. That it's not okay to make fun of people who patronise and insult people they pretend to be trying to help? I just cannot figure out where that opinion comes from.

he was upset that there was cold cheese on his burger,
I went and told a manager he was upset about it, I offered to have it remade but he denied, when the manager went to talk to him he threw his drink at her and left, she called the cops but they were long gone by the time the cops showed up.
Is that going to go on Not Always Right?

Not bad advice.
Not straight up good either, but not bad.

Quote from: At work
customer: How would you like to be slapped in the face with a cold piece of cheese.
me: I don't think I'd like that very much...
customer: good, go tell the cooks that, and if they have any problems with it, tell them I'll be out here.

 ::)
So the cooks slapped thon with a piece of cold cheese?
That doesn't even make sense...

For crap's sake, this kind of internet/security derpiness of absurditude is the US's job UN, stop imitating them. It's not helping.
So the problem with the internet is that it's too open? That's stupid.
It's like today when I was reading from a printout of the NATO phonetic alphabet and morse next to each other. Someone came up to me and said "What's the point of that code? Everybody knows it, you'd be better off making your own up." as if I was intending to not be understood.

-Retroactively added bugs a month ago that will occur with a code clash two bugfixes from now, so I have something to do then.

The Protractor certainly helped me get close to other planets faster, and with luck my first flight to Eve actually succeeded. However, the same lightning hasn't struck twice, and since then I haven't gotten to the planets precisely enough. If the protractor helps you get into the general vicinity of the planet, how do you make the final fine tunings for the rendezvous?
Burn straight at it? Works for me if I miss something.

I vote for a successor to the Large Hadron Collider, that uses planets instead of hadrons. Or maybe planets are just really, REALLY large hadrons.
Oh god a planet moving at light speed

Someone make this happen
unable to get to light speed. assuming you could, though...

the universe collapses due to an infinitely powerful gravity field. things on the edge of the universe would have a good while due to gravity being restricted by the speed of light, though.

assuming you speed it up to... say... 0.999999999999999999999999999999999999c, it'd probably make a black hole.
Since when did speed affect mass?
Anyway, are we assuming a perfect vacuum, or just space conditions? Because going that fast, the friction from the scattered hydrogen in space could still cause some serious heating.

Well, I wonder if you dropped the ball down the shaft if it would build enough momentum to shoot clear out the other side, achieve escape velocity?

Probably not.
No it wouldn't.
It would peak at the equivalent height of where you dropped it from.

well, how did we get the raven? do what we did then.
So go any try to put infected material in a bird food supply? All of this infrastructure stuff could be us leading into a larger scale though, which is nice.

Like the fact thatt everytime you teleport, you die? And a copy of you is made? And that on Star Trek, every one dies repeatedly and hope their clone can continue the mission, their entire LIFE, Sucessfully?

This is why I never will be teleported.  I don't care if I have to walk, I am not teleporting.
If it makes you feel better, regular life is like this. You rely on future iterations of yourself to continue in a manner similar to how you work. The you at the start of this had no idea what the contents of this post were, but still wasted the infinitely small period of time it existed to further the knowledge of a future, more refined version of itself in the future.

The real question is, will the object that was dropped reach the same distance on the other side of the gravitational center as where it started.
So long as the gravitational field is perfectly uniform, yes.

Pretty sure it'd just oscillate forever, ignoring the potential for the Earth to accelerate unexpectedly in rotation or speed, in which case it'd bounce against the walls until it came to a stop in the centre.
