something i was wondering about FTL guns...(theoretically)
« on: 29/12/2006 05:19:17 »
if i were to posses a gun that could fire a bullet hundreds or thousands of times faster than the speed of light (impossible i know, but IF i could) what would the repercussions be? could i kill someone before i pulled the trigger because of relativity? what would happen?
idk just curious
