The Way I See It, If Youre Gonna Make A Modern Parallel To The DeLorean, Why Not A Car Built By An Unhinged

“The way I see it, if you’re gonna make a modern parallel to the DeLorean, why not a car built by an unhinged billionaire who’ll go out of business in a couple years, y’know?”

“Wait a minute, Doc. You built a time machine… out of a Tesla?”

The worst thing about having a Star fleet, is having to compensate for relativity all the time. One minute an away team gives an update to the starship up in orbit that all is well, the next minute the team finds everyone in the ship is twenty years older because they waited too long to beam up.

The same goes on a macro scale when Starfleet Command has to keep in touch with thousands of different crafts flying throughout the galaxy, each encountering a unique gravity well which warps time and space around them at different rates.

In addition to this, even if communications operate faster than light, there are still notable delays between sending and receiving messages. On a good day, it can take a couple hours to a get a response regarding your request to enter the Neutral Zone. Combine that delay with the possibility of orbiting a planet where everything moves super-slow?

It’s a wonder half the fleet isn’t dead by the second episode.

Hi, I record music covers, draw photo-tracings, and write short stories from time to time. If you’re interested, please consider supporting me on my upcoming patreon page. It’ll be the main hub for all of my content. More info to come.

I didn't expect this to be relevant again.

“I like Brutus. I think he’s an honorable guy. You know a lot of people don’t feel that way. People come up to me and say, "this Brutus guy is a mess. He killed Caesar.” Caesar, by the way, that’s the guy that didn’t want to be king. I was there in March of 44, and I watched all the Romans cheering when he turned down that crown. It was a yuuge deal, okay? Classy guy… But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. Still, it’s a sad day with Caesar dead. Tragedy. It’s gonna be hard to keep our country winning without him, but we need to, people. We need to make Rome great again.“

I sabotage every chance for people to like me.

There comes a point in every person’s life where we will lose more friends than we gain. Even the people we cherish the most in our lives will be gone, whether by distance, death, or estrangement.

While we expect this moment to happen in the far off future, the truth is that old age isn’t really a factor; this moment can happen to anyone at any time. Perhaps it has happened to you already, and you will soon die alone.
