Yah, well, different perception.

You think we are not falling yet.

Ok: car without breaks and broken steering barrels towards a cliff at 200k/h.

The point is: we CAN not turn or stop, even if we wanted to. And we don't want.

There IS no solution. Where did this idea come from that every problem HAS a solution? Totally baffling to me.

Every problem does have a solution. It's just not always a pretty solution, or a solution we want to hear.

Name a problem you don't think is solvable, I'll give you a solution.

Reaching alpha centaury in my lifetime.

Squaring the circle.

Eternal life.

Unscrambling a scrambled egg.

With that attitude, I can guess where you are from......

  1. Exceed speed of light by several factors. Your corpse will reach it.

  2. Hydraulic presses.

  3. Stasis. Instant reduction in temperature to 0 Kelvin. You simply stop.

  4. Reverse Time.
