This is how I always feel when something I wrote becomes available to the public.

Yeah, I palm mash out my comments on all your articles.

[GlowBear]

I bet you do...

(it's also neat how the face on the printed sculpture is that of the guy holding it)

[Sir Legendhead]

I wonder how accurate this is.

[Changston]

Seems pretty good. It'd be somewhere between 1-2 seconds.

I've always been used to thinking of the speed of light as instantaneous. But yeah, what happens in that gif would be instantaneous by any human definition. It's just weird to actually be able to track the movement, y'know? I've never been able to visualize it until now.

Aren't Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino the same person to begin with? I guess by Star Trek logic, Pacino would be the one with the goatee.

Well obvious the rate isn't accurate, the departure out of Earth isn't fast enough. But the time frame is about right. Pretty cool too.

In practicality for a lot of things you can assume it accurate, like a good popular science trick is measuring the speed of sound using a visual indicator of the sound happening a known distance away and a stopwatch. When it's well established in your headbrain that it really isn't, lots of stuff in science fiction will probably piss you off with it. One of the last films I watched, for example, has a shockwave that moved so fast in a solar system that it could only be travelling many times the speed of light. But fuck Star Trek before JJ Abrams I guess.

Another fun, similar, thing to this is relativity. How space and time are inescapably unified.

I had a couple of different things I started to say here, then I decided ah screw it and got this gif instead.



(all of what you said is interesting though. plus that guy kind of looks like you)

[Tarvu]

Yeah you or somebody said once. You should watch videos of Brian Cox talking shit about Physics.

Couldn't find an animated gif of Stryker but liked these;

It's funny because I've often been unsure which people have talked about.

And that last .gif has a spelling error.

[Sir Legendhead]

you are the mutans

And yeah, I saw the other guy when googling. He has entire tumblrs dedicated to him.
