Yes, he’s at Starbucks, like he wanted, but it’s the one in downtown Moscow.

the only hard part would be stopping, as you approach light speed, your length dercreaces, so it would be simple to find a space

Hmm, seems that all those keys on Biff’s wall aren’t for ONE car, they’re each for a DIFFERENT car….

so, one car is invisible and the other one is superluminal? Who’s his car dealer?

This is a particularly amusing one. Though, technically, I would have preferred if his car caused craters upon impact instead.

That depends on how fast they are going as well ;P

I imagine it would also be rather hard to parallel park in the invisible green car. Also, the speed of light is not relative, Colin. It’s a constant. No matter where you are in the universe, the Speed of Light is always the same speed. What you were thinking of was the theory of relativity which says that time is relative to how fast you are moving. At the speed of light, Time appears to stand completely still,while everything around you, if you could see it would be nothing but streaks of light. At near speed of light speeds you don’t age, because one year to you at that speed is about twenty to everyone else.

Colin, if the speed of light were “relative to the universe”, the entire point of “relativity” wouldn’t work–that the observed speed of light does not vary with the observer’s velocity “relative to the universe”. So, if–and only if–you pick the right vantage point, you can say we’re traveling around half the speed of light. However, that doesn’t validate the first part of your post.
(Also, this is my first post.)
