That is way too advanced for this group. For the last 6 hours they have been discussing the origins of a goose, a penguin, and something that resembles a penguin.

I enjoyed the video.

Hey, we're renaissance men/people ( or at least sci fi fans) so at least some of us totally get this.

Also by using the logic that electrons can travel faster than the speed of light if light isn't traveling at the max speed, my FRS can travel faster than a Veyron, if the Veyron is parked.

Take that soccer mom at the stop light.

I'm fairly certain that your FRS's average speed relative to the surface of the earth is higher than the average speed of every single Veyron individually, and possibly added together.

I enjoyed the video.
And yet, a fantastic analogy finds it's way into the mix
