So, in other words...

Paolo's brother doesn't get his turn on the scooter.

Selfish bastard.

RIP CARL

@manwithouthat44 He would not be able to stay grounded... He would shoot of in a straight line... He would melt due to the friction from the air before he even leaves the atmosphere in a small fraction of a second...

naw,I don't think it is possible.photons and electrons and"gravitons" are theoretically no mass ,100%energy; so for us might be only our thoughts or souls to reach or pass that speed.you ,CARL ,are passed us.RIP hope we shall meet you again somewhere in time...

I dont get, if he would travel at the speed of light (186.000 m p/s) wouldnt he leave the earth within an instant and fly through space on his scooter ? Or if he'd manage to stay grounded circle the earth a couple of times in one second ? What if a bug or a bird hits him, wouldnt that feel like a bullet ? How in hell would he survive anything like that ?

Reminds me of that powerpuff girls episode

@akwinata1 Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll stick with Science and Reason.

this video basically sums up how you can time travel, only problem is it is impossible for an inanimate object to move at such speeds

Awesome! I love Carl Sagan's "Cosmos"! I couldn't watch it if I was at my grandparents, because they are deeply religious Christians, but at that young age, I just wanted to learn about astronomy and cosmology. I have about 20+ books on astronomy/cosmology. Some are missing, or are so old, I doubt I could find any new ones. Carl is so inspiring to the human race! Carl Sagan is a legend! "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die..." This quote came from the movie "Sandlot". I find this true!
