For as long as you are relative to it.
Speed is a function of space-time. If you
alter space then time adjusts to that
alteration. If you are within the altered
space, the speed of light would seem to
remain constant. If you are outside of the
altered space, the speed of light would seem
to be faster or slower than normal.
This raises a question. A tachyon is a
hypothetical form of energy that is defined
as going faster than the speed of light. If
energy cannot go faster than the speed of
light, then tachyons do not exist. But if
they just *seem*, relativistically, to go
faster than the speed of light, technically
they do not violate that limitation. They
are not *really* tachyons, even though they
look like tachyons.
So here's the question: if energy appears
to go faster than the speed of light, because
it is in an altered space-time, what does it
look like to someone in normal space-time?
What does a faux-tachyon look like?

But it's simple. It goes backwards in time.
Time is what yuou measure with a clock. to measure anything wiht a
clock, you have to look at it. To look at it, light has to move from
it to you. Therefore nothing can go faster than light.
That's the beauty of Einstein. It's completely insane but it works.

It could be worse. You could be Einstein. -You- just -think- you're
insane. But you kind of wonder if you have a kind of hyper-sanity of
your own, too. But Einstein PROVED it. And he not only proved that
HE was insane, he proved that the UNIVERSE was too.
So they gave him a Nobel prize.
See, until light reaches your brain, maybe you are insane, but WHEN
are you insane? If you can just avoid looking at clocks you'll be

I bet someone smarter than me could take this tangentally related info from
Wikipedia and it to your question in such a way as to give some sort of
answer.
"Near a black hole, the time dilation increases to a large degree. From the
point of view of an external observer, it appears to take an infinite amount of
time for an object to approach the event horizon, at which point the light
coming from it is infinitely red-shifted. To the distant observer, it appears
that that the object, falling more and more slowly, approaches but never
reaches the event horizon (i.e., takes an infinite amount of time to reach it).
From the point of view of the infalling object itself, however, it will take a
finite time to cross the event horizon and reach the singularity.
The singularity
At the center of the event horizon is a singularity, a place where general
relativity predicts that spacetime becomes infinitely curved (i.e., where
gravity becomes infinitely strong). Spacetime inside the event horizon is
peculiar in that the singularity is literally the only possible future, so all
particles within the event horizon must move inexorably towards it (Penrose and
Hawking)"

Yeah, but you're a petty attack poodle and even being a wino with his
zipper at half-mast trumps THAT. Besides, you said "you're not a doctor
either" twice, so you must have a snootful of ether. You need to stand
further back from the cyclotron; the RAYS are getting you in the
subgenual cortex.
IIRC from the BotSG (and I'm sure I have dropped a few bytes, thereby
recalling it INcorrectly in spots), "One happy idiot beats a dozen,
miserable A-bomb-building geniuses." Being a "loser" is relative to what
one HAS, what one suffers to get it and what one "loses."
Therefore, you are a scowling, (theoretically) degreed bipedal
sphincter with an impaction and Joe is a happy fool with a dirty song in
his heart and a goofy grin on his face. Ipso Slacko, Joe wins. Not that
he was SEEKING to per se, which is why your jab automatically makes him
a default demigod and YOU a vial of Hitler's toe jam. YES!!! MY KIND

You've GOT to be kidding! TOS is certainly not my favorite, but
please. Of course I fucking understood it, you fucking idiot! I'm the
quintessential Star Trek fan! DIDN'T YOU KNOW??? And, of course, the
best Trek had to be DS9. That should tell you a thing or two. And,
aside from the completely INAPPROPRIATE and crappy suck-ass lame theme
song, ST:ENT totally rules. But TOS? Primitive. OK, primitive yes, but
I do have a handful of faves that I bought on tape years ago and I
still love them to this very day. In no particular order:
City on the Edge of Forever
Mirror, Mirror
Bread and Circuses
The Omega Glory
Patterns of Force
Assignment: Earth
The Deadly Years
All Our Yesterdays
Wink of an Eye
Tomorrow is Yesterday
The Doomsday Machine
A Piece of the Action
Other background for you:
Here are some "Wow, the ST:ENT Theme Song Really Sucks GOAT COCK"
threads that I was an active participant in.
Anyway... getting back to Ol' Reckless Joe. I would guess he's one of
those LAME ASSES that stopped watching Trek after TOS. He couldn't
handle the depth of the storylines that followed once TNG kicked into
gear (Season 3?). Especially difficult for him to enjoy must have been
DS9. Except for possibly when they created that time travel episode
where they spliced in the silly TOS "Trouble with Tribbles" episode.
Quite an improvement over the TOS version, I must say. And
technically, I must say, a masterpiece.
And from the heart, I must also say this: FUCK OFF AND DIE! Ummm...
Soon? Thanks much!
