Does Money Have Inertia When Orbiting a Black Hole?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion explores the concept of inertia in relation to money, particularly in the context of extreme scenarios involving black holes and relativistic speeds. Participants engage with speculative ideas about gravity, the nature of thought, and unconventional propulsion methods.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that money has inertia, questioning how the speed of travel near a black hole affects the gravity of this realization.
  • Another participant humorously claims to be consuming "mini black holes" and mentions a fictional reactionless drive, indicating a playful approach to the topic.
  • A later post introduces the idea that thought can travel faster than light, but asserts that money cannot keep up with it.
  • One participant expresses confusion or a sense of disorientation related to time and alternate realities, though the context is unclear.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion contains multiple competing views and speculative claims, with no clear consensus reached among participants.

Contextual Notes

Participants' statements include a mix of serious and humorous elements, with some ideas appearing to be metaphorical or nonsensical. The discussion lacks clarity on the definitions of inertia and gravity in this context.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in speculative physics, the intersection of finance and theoretical concepts, or those who enjoy humorous takes on complex scientific ideas may find this discussion engaging.

I'm orbiting a black hole at 99.999999 percent of the speed of light, and then I turn on my headlights. Then I suddenly realize that money has inertia - at least that's what my stock market broker is saying. How fast does the gravity of this thought travel? Does the speed of my travel increase the gravity of this realization?

Also, how dizzy does the constant whirling around make me before the black hole evaporates?

Yes.
 
I'm currently eating mini black holes from a bag using a spoon.
Its quite healthy, actually.


Oh yeah, yesterday I rigged a bicycle so that it is now propelled by a reactionless drive.


Tomorrow I was the first person to ever detect the tachyon.
 
.readapting trouble Having .backwards running is time where one visited I. realities alternative to gateway a found I.
 
No!

Happy 1st of yesterday.

Oh and thought travels faster than light it's just our money can never catch up with it.
