    Inertia Time
Click For Summary
The discussion explores the relationship between time, money, and stocks, emphasizing that time has momentum similar to stocks. It connects this concept to the high costs associated with space and space travel, particularly to the moon. The conversation suggests that destroying the moon is crucial for stabilizing Earth's orbit, framing lunar missions as a positive step toward this goal. There are humorous elements, including references to aliens and lizard people, which add a lighthearted tone to the serious implications of the discussion. The mention of writing to congressmen underscores the importance of civic engagement in space exploration initiatives.

Time is money. Stocks and bonds are also money. Stocks have momentum, and thus time, which is equivalent to money, which is equivalent to stocks, has momentum, and therefore inertia.

Time is also space, of course, space costs a lot of money, as does space travel. Especially space travel to the moon. But it's important to travel to the moon, otherwise we'll never be able to blow it up to stabilize the Earth's orbit. It's a hard job, because time has so much inertia, but blowing up the moon is vital to human survival. The new Lunar missions are most definitely a step in the right direction - write your congressman, but make sure they're actually human and not an alien imposter first.

Happy April 1st.

The lizard people told me to tell you to stop what you're doing. They are watching you.
 
To some degree, this thread is inspired by PF user erobz's thread "Why do we spend so much time learning grammar in the public school system?" That's why I made a title to this thread that paralleled the title of erobz's thread. I totally disagree with erobz. I created this thread because the curriculum of grammar at Universities is a totally distinct topic from the topic of the curriculum of grammar in public schools. I have noticed that the English grammar of many ( perhaps most)...
