Can’t access that video unfortunately but a crazy stat.
Light travel is a tough subject to digest.
Someone on here tried very well a while back.
The perception of light travel over how it’s travel is actually instantaneous.
I need a concise explanation so I can sleep better. :)

Just saw the whole train pass over, incredible

Thanks mate - incredible.

The light thing is how we perceive light to travel: so 8 light years a way would be us taking 8 years to see that travel (from point a to b for example). But in reality it would be instantaneous for the light to get from a to b.
I had a little read of mass/time in the explanation but it’s a bit of a a script...

I’m a big physics buff mate and find that stuff incredible.

Me too (as in I find it incredible rather than a big physics buff, although I’ve found Brian Greene’s quantum theory books interesting...utterly mind bending to be more precise).
Probably need to find a good source to unravel the explanations a little more digestible. Infinite mass to travel at light speed - is that right?

Another crazy display this evening

The more you think the more rabbit holes you go down, I’m going to be polite and say it’s frustrating, I try not to think linear is all I’ve got to offer.

You get confused by a bend in the road ffs

What is this bend you talk of?

It’s beyond your comprehension, lose no sleep

starship test hopefully in an hour or so..

Watch SpaceX launch Starship SN8 to 12.5km and then belly flop back down! - YouTube

 

[ultimateharold]

Test imminent

 

[grunge]

Aborted with 1 second on the clock!

 

[ultimateharold]

5 mins to go. Stopped previously at t-2mins today.

 

[argyle]

Oops, it went boom on landing.

Landed at too greater speed.

Looks like they need to build another one.

Looks like they need to build another one.

A new one will be rolling off the Tesla production line as we speak.

The feed say's awesome test, congrats team so I'm guessing they expected it or don't mind that it happened.
