I was told I could find more of these here. Yes, or should I return to my previous page?

Is there any reason this wouldn't work, assuming creating such a powerful telescope and large mirror and placing them were possible?

Are the physics wrong here, or just impractical?

Impractical and you would require wormholes. Then there's the fact that you're trying to reflect dim light from a small terrestrial planet from trillions of kilometers away, not including distortion from cosmic dust and gas in between.

This would work sorta. Except the kid part.

>>3129044

well you'd not see yourself 20 years ago immediately, not till the light gets to the mirror and back, so you'd see yourself 20 years ago in 20 years.

Twenty years for something to go wrong, and twenty light-years between. Possible, but... There are pictures instead.

>> No.3129121

>>3129081
It would work but there are two problems. One: it will probably confuse whoever the hell you're mailing. Since it's likely to be a bill payment, you don't want that. Two: if you do it often enough for it to be worth it, you'll likely get caught and that's a headache you don't want

They only do that if the initial sender (in that case: you) had put a stamp on it, so it won't work.

People argue that this won't work because the mass of the chair is too small. How about while inside of a falling elevator?

Same thing, it would be nearly impossible if not completely to jump with enough force to cancel out the fall.

New idea for troll physics comic:

Get hit by a cop using a stun gun
Grab cop
Electricity travels through you and shocks him instead

There's an easier and safer way to do that.

You just have to drive fast enough so that the relativistic Doppler effect turns the the traffic lights green.

I tried this once.

>> No.3129178

>>3129156
Depends on how far you're falling from. You've only got enough energy in your legs to jump maybe 1 or 2 feet off the ground? So you've cancelled out 1 or 2 feet of falling. That doesn't matter much when you've fallen 4 stories.

Had to send back a ps3 laser assembly and I just repackaged it, crossed out my name and wrote return to sender on the package and it worked.

>> No.3129185

>>3129156

That's not the problem. In order for you to compensate the momentum going down you'd have to put pressure on your legs twice as high as the downward momentum, which will rip your body apart if you were even able to jump that hard.

Of course it did. You should have seen the officers faces. Green from jealousy. Totally worth it.
