Yes and that works both ways. Imagine your on the motorway traveling north and the traffic on the opposite lane is traveling south. You would pass each other very quickly.1) Relative velocity.
But even when the ties were flying towards the SSD and the SSD was either moving towards them or stationary, it still took many seconds to clear the hull. So I have yet to see this great speed. But it is very easy to put some zeros down on a page of a book, and not know how this actually plays out in the real world. No human can fly at such great speeds, simply because our reaction times are too slow. There is a fact you can't escape, unless your books author has begun removing zeros from the characters reaction times?
You would be pulling some pretty heavy gs, no doubt. But 1000's? I'm not so sure.Imagine how fast one must be moving in order to cross something the size of Jupiter in under five minutes. And after that, decelerate to something equivilant to a stopped position without using the main aft engines.
shape up? You need to lighten up buddy. Now go for a walk or somthing to clear you head.Addendum: This is a fairly inauspicious beginning to Adana's stay on SDN. Hopefully he'll shape up, or it will be a short stay at that.
