  7. Re:Light Speed Travel on Blazing Speed: The Fastest Stuff In The Universe · · Score: 1

    you're thinking to far into this... if the universe is finite, there's got to be a central point in it... whether it's a glob of stars or something i have no clue. and with the relative thing: if you're moving faster than another object, time moves slower for you than it does for the other object.

    Karma should be measured by positive moderation done to replies to your posts.

    suppose you're way off base (trolling/just incorrect) and there are a bunch of posts below you pointing out how you're wrong that get modded up... should you get a karma bonus?
