Dr. James O'Donoghue @physicsJ At 99% the speed of light you could get to Mars in 30 seconds from *your* perspective, when Mars is (about) closest to Earth Observers on Earth however, would see you take 3 minutes 30 seconds THAT is time dilation, it really happens, this is a fundamental aspect of reality. 8:31 AM · Feb 2, 2021·Twitter Web App 102 Retweets 11 Quote Tweets 482 483 Likes Dr. James O'Donoghue @physicsJ · 49m Replying to @physicsJ When something reaches light speed it doesn't experience time passing at all — it's the extreme end of time dilation. If you left Earth and could somehow accelerate to near light speed, you could navigate the cosmos in far less time, but everyone back home would be aging... Dr. James O'Donoghue @physicsJ · 49m ... e.g. at 99.9% light speed it would take you about 73 days to reach the nearest star Proxima Centauri (4.247 light years away), but by the time you get there everyone on Earth would have aged 4 years and 90 days Dr. James O'Donoghue @physicsJ · 46m Why not have a go yourself? Here's an online calculator, just enter the speed and see how much time is reduced for you. The time elapsed for you the traveler will return as a percentage https://emc2-explained.info/Dilation-Calc/#.YBl5y-gzb-g Dr. James O'Donoghue @physicsJ · 45m So clearly @30SECONDSTOMARS is traveling at 99% the speed of light

Watch this video and ask yourself this question: why is the left obsessed with electric vehicles? On average, you might get less emissions from EV’s, but they’re not all they’re hyped up to be. Here are the facts. THREAD

1. Electric vehicle parts rely on lithium batteries. Manufacturing lithium batteries, largely in China, for electric vehicles releases 30% MORE emissions than normal combustion engine manufacturing.

2. Our electricity is still primarily generated from natural gas + coal. So, depending on the fuel mix, your EV might rely on these fossil fuels and have higher emissions than a normal vehicle.

3. Forcing natural gas out of the market - which the left wants to do by banning fracking - ends up bringing us back to coal, which has 1.5x more emissions than natural gas.

4. Electricity is mostly generated by natural gas, nuclear, and coal. Solar and wind make up a VERY small percentage of that, despite taxpayers paying massive subsidies for it.

5. So when President Biden promises a new fleet of electric vehicles. Ask yourself: what powers those electric vehicles? And do they really deliver a “green revolution” the left is promising you?

To conclude: So while average emissions might be less, it depends entirely on the energy source from the grid. EV’s are far from an environmentalist panacea. Massive infrastructure is required to support them, range is limited, and large industrial transport still needs gas.
