The Science and Physics of Back To the Future

overthinkingit writes "A scientist has tried to apply serious math and physics, including the Law of Cosines, to analyze how the DeLorean in Back to the Future travels through both Time AND Space: 'in order to pull off the kind of time travel we see in the Back To The Future trilogy — the kind where the traveler is transposed in time, but remains stationary in the same relative position to where he/she left — the DeLorean would have to be an outstanding space ship, in addition to its already laudable work as a time-ship. According to Doc Brown's stopwatch, Einstein the dog travels precisely one minute into the future on this first jump, arriving, relative to their frame of reference, at the same location he left. But how far has this reference frame itself traveled during that one minute?'"

    Coon, coon, black baboon,
    Brutal, worthless, thieving goon,
    Often high, thrives in jail,
    his welfare check is in the mail!
    Some 40 offspring had been had,
    Not one will ever call him dad!
    And yet he hollers day and night:
    "I blames de white man fo my plight!
    It's him spreads trash all round my shack!
    It's him what makes me smoke dis crack!
    He push my kind to burn and loot,
    And sends de po-lice dat we shoot!
    But inch by inch we takin' hold,
    Like when de white bread starts to mold,
    We'll overrun yo homes and soon-
    dey be only fit fo de blackassed coon!"

    I wish I was a nigger, I could drive a Cadillac with class
    My pocket stuffed with welfare checks, and I could sit on my big black ass
    Now you take a nigger, he aint nobody's fool
    He doesn't buy any gasoline, to drive his kids to school

    Our government has gone crazy, I'd change things if I could
    If I was only a nigger, I could afford to live in a white neighborhood
    Oh the things that I could do, if I was black and Hell-bent
    I could send my kids to college, and it wouldn't cost me one damn cent

    The wife and I were down on our luck, we were really getting uptight
    They said at the welfare office, "You aint black, you're white."
    Oh how I've tried to get a job, a diploma I had with pride
    The post office man laughed, and said "You're not dark enough to even qualify"

    I took a civil service exam, and passed it without shame
    A nigger took one next to me, he couldnt even write his own name
    The nigger, he got the job, now he's government top brass
    He couldn't qualify for a trash truck, while I'm out on the street on my ass

    If I was a Jesse Jackson, I'd be nobody's slob
    Wearing $500.00 dollar suits, that nigger hasn't even got a job
    If I was Barack Obama, I could sit back and relax
    And when sworn in as President, I could paint The White House black

    Damn, I wish I was a nigger

    If I was a jig-a-boo, I could find me my roots
    With a afro big as a watermelon, and a pair of white disco boots
    If I was only dark complected, I could stand tall in this life
    I could live high off the hog, just me and my white wife

    Things used to be segregated, but things are a little off-key
    I've never seen a white man as head of the NAACP
    It aint that I don't like a nigger, if I've rubbed you wrong by chance
    Take a look at that mistletoe hanging on the seat of my pants

    If I was a kinky top, I could be a Martin Luther King
    I'd have me a vision on a mountain top, my song the whole world would sing
    I could have me a peace march on the streets of Memphis, Tennessee
    I could tear up the whole damn city, and the police wouldn't dare stop me

    A lot of things in life I know, but one thing I cant figure
    Why a nigger can call me a honkey and I cant call a nigger, a nigger
    If I was a jungle bunny, I could ring a golden bell
    I could be a Mohammed Ali, and be loved by Howard Cosell

    Damn, I wish I was a nigger

    If I was a golliwogg, 7 foot tall and lean,
    I could be a famous player on the Washington basketball team
    If I was only chocolate brown, I could have me some turnip greens
    A possum fat and watermelon, chitlens and a pot of butter beans

    Now when Martin Luther King was buried in Washington with class
    They put him face down in his box, so the politicians could kiss his ass
    I guess its just politics, but it sure gets my goat
    Kiss assing with a nigger, just so you could get his vote

    If i was only a burr-head, I'd live high on the hill
    Selling cocaine and prostitutes, and popping all kinds of pills
    Now take the NAACP, they can march and raise all kinds of hell
    Let the KKK start to move, and they'll all wind up in jail

    I dreamed my life was over, I heard Saint Peter say,
    "Today we're taken only niggers, you've gotta go the other way"
    Then I heard the Devil, he said "I heard what Peter had to say
    But I'm sorry to tell you son, Today in Hell is Nigger Day."

    Damn, don't you wish you were a nigger?
