New question:
What would happen if I reached the North Pole and kept going North?

Simple question. If you continued going north you would end up in outer space.

By the way, for those of you planning on going the speed of light, get a good radar detector.

If speed is relative, then I am going the speed of light(relative to light).

Damn Red2K, are you gonna leak out all my performance upgrades? Oh, and by the way-did you get the 422 yet? No, don't know what to tell you.

Hey Rocky, are your mods finally making you go faster and not slower? I could have sworn your time slips were getting slower by each run you made. Just wondering.

Actually I think the speed of the truck would make the light from the headlights sag down to the road and then they would be wound up in the front wheels causing a hugh wreck.

Check your best slip against mine.

Hey is your truck finally running? It seems like every weekend your truck breaks down again. Just wondering.

I think I might know who did that. He hasn't been around in a while though. Maybe someone could email him and find out?

Hey does anyone know that train example for the theroy of relitvity? that one always helped. I read in popular science that NASA shot an atomic clock into orbit and it goes slower than the one on earth. So I think that proved the getting older theroy. damm this stuff always makes my brain overheat.

What would happen if you were traveling 4,000 fps and fired a bullet that had a muzzle velocity of 3,000 fps?

What about if you are travelling faster than the speed of sound. if you talk, will you be able to hear yourself? Even more important, can you hear the plane you are travelling in?
