Never go full Kyrie.

@mayjay he needs to become best friends with Gronkowski if he isn't already https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1861425-rob-gronkowski-wants-to-time-travel-to-florida-doesnt-know-how-time-works ↗

@mayjay thanks for this. I had Porter on my fantasy team for a spell this year. But this definitely caps his upside.

@approxinfinity Gronk is actually closer to the nature of time travel than the reporter credits.

Since nothing can travel faster than light, and a traveller's relative time slows as you approach the speed of light, then it would seem he would necessarily have to overcome those limitations if he were able to instantly appear anywhere else. Time would stretch infinitely if he went at the speed of light (and he would haave infinite mass, IIRC, but that is another issue, so we have to assume Gronk has figured out how to have no mass). Since light speed is 186,000 miles per second, there must be a time lag for any body travelling even close to that speed.

Instantaneous means no time lag, meaning travelling through space, and time, conquering the effects of relativity and other Einsteinean physics.

This physicist says that instantaneous travel between any two points in the universe by a body with no mass actually does not involve infinite speed at all--it reduces the distance to zero instead. So...if Gronk could do it, his NFL yards will not increase but his scoring would be phenomenal.

I need a Scotch.

@mayjay looool. so good! You earned that scotch!

@approxinfinity I will always upvote a post giving me Scotch permission!

@mayjay I think you already had a scotch. Or ten.

@mayjay surprised the nba doesn't have a vaccine rule, like schools. Maybe that's why their family homeschooled their kids.

@nuleafjhawk As it turns out I forgot my Scotch last night. The ramblings are just the usual insanities floating around inside...

@mayjay not at all. If breaking down the facts and offering a logical conclusion that differs from the consensus is considered insane these days, then we're doomed!
