Trinket

Heh. I just got one of these from my auto insurance company for participating in a driving habits program. I'm wondering if a) I can read the data off this myself, and b) what the hell they're gonna make of my tendency to coast with the engine off at 50mph a lot.

Pointless Epiphany

Star Trek I & IV were both predicated on the discovery/intercept of the Voyager spacecraft a couple of hundred years in the future. The problem, of course, is that even that far in the future, Voyager I won't have traveled very fucking far, relatively (ha!) speaking. Its current velocity is something on the order of 5.7x10^-5c.

At .0057% of the speed of light, it'll take a long fucking time to go one light year (napkin math says ~1.75 million years).


Uh, whoops.


I am occasionally smart at 6:32am. I blame my intention to submit work to this collection for this particular thought bubble/experiment.
