Pretty tough to overcome momentum absent friction.
- blunte 7y agoI suspect some readers didn't get your accurate but brief comment. I'll expand it :). Regardless of technology, once the limits of friction are surpassed, there's no current technology to save you from your momentum. And furthermore, moving the max capable speed upward with technology just means that when something unforeseen or accidental occurs, it now has a multiplied effect.
- blattimwind 7y agoTaking a corner at 80 km/h on a snowy road seems like an interesting proposition overall.
- kempbellt 7y agoEasy. Just generate a small, but dense planet-sized mass opposite the direction of momentum, then terminate its existence once momentum has ceased. Don't break earth or the space-time continuum in the process though - you might agitate stockholders. Seriously though, physics is physics. Software can do a lot, but it can't do magic.
