  • … honestly i was just having a silly thought at the time but what i just realized a few minutes ago after being reminded of my post again was that basically all of our motility is velocity transfer because we achieve motion through pushing on other things. We have never generated velocity out of nothing, We’ve only ever transferred it in the first place.

    “generating velocity instead of transferring it” would be entirely novel, i realize: it would constitute an essentially reactionless drive. Those don’t exist in real life as far as we know.

    Presently, instead, if we want to go ←that←way←, we have to push something else really hard →that→way→.
