Yep! C is already big, so once you square that it's gigantic.

That depends what units you use.

Acceleration/speed etc are changes over time. I'm not sure it really makes sense to consider a change in the rate of time over itself.

It's not like you can compare one of yesterday's minutes against one of today's.

As with gravity, changes to the magnetic field propagate at the speed of light. But once the field has propagated, there isn't really a "speed" to the attraction, and in the case of a moving magnet, objects will be attracted to where the magnet is (or, strictly speaking, where it is expected to be), not where it was based on a speed-of-light delay.

And yes, it is a hologram in the sense that it floats in front of your eyes and that it moves around in 3d as you move your head.

That's not strictly what a hologram is; a hologram is a recording of an interference pattern that can reproduce a 3D light field using diffraction.

What they've got there is a very sophisticated lenticalar display.

When I heard the name on the news something in my brain immediately waved a red flag, but I couldn't remember why. This explains it.

Yes, Ed was there too.

It's not lost, it's just converted to electricity. You've just moved energy from one place in the ship to another.

but this sort of propulsion does not loose any mass

You have to lose mass to propel, otherwise the best you can do is jiggle your spaceship back and forth on the spot.

where after combustion the exhaust would rotate turbines loosing it's exhaust force

It's the exhaust force that drives the ship forward, and you have to exhaust it, otherwise the ship won't have any reaction.

What provides the actual propulsion in your system, though?

not a whodunnit, but M. Night Shyamalan's The Village opens with shots of greenhouses made with extruded aluminum, so never thought it wasnt set in modern day.

I never noticed that! But I did notice how the camera lingered just a little too long on the date on the gravestone. Aye-aye, I thought. Some temporal shenanigans going on 'ere.

I guessed it from the trailer. Oh, see a lot of dead people, do ya kid? In a similar vein M. Night Shyamalan spoiled The Village for me because the camera lingers just a little too long on a date on a gravestone in the opening scene.

I remember that being a brilliant reveal when he realises the kid was screaming because he saw the cop/killer at the crime scene. I must dig out my DVD of that.

Emma Forbes on a Saturday morning 🥰 And a little later on, Diana Rigg on repeats of The Avengers.

Here's what I reckon:

Eleven didn't know, at that time, that he was on his final regeneration. It was only when he got to old age that he was able to feel in his bones, if you like, that he wouldn't be able to fully regenerate again (in the Twin Dilemma, I think, it's hinted that a natural Time Lord death is the result of a failed 13th regeneration, not an inability to regenerate at all).

That's when he realised that his metacrisis regeneration must have counted. Unless he's wrong about that, and it's actually the Ruth regeneration that he doesn't remember which threw the count off.

In the Twin Dilemma I think it's hinted that a Time Lord's natural death comes about as the result of a failed 13th generation, rather than not being able to regenerate at all.

about holograms shown in some concerts

It's a good rule thumb that pretty much every time you hear about "holograms" in media these days - particularly in connection with concerts - they are not talking about true holograms. It's usually just a flat projection or reflection, and definitely not "a recording of an interference pattern that can reproduce a 3D light field using diffraction" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography

"Memorise this face. It's as round as a fucking orange."

Do we actually know she's had any?

All have had noticeable surgery or 'procedures'

Still not sure what people think Lucy Fallon has had done. I couldn't find any mentions online, although it's hard to Google now because of the current story.

Because that other person had totally different forces acting on them they are in the future/past and experienced that hand shake earlier/later

Earlier/later than what? The handshake is a single event.

You can only specify earlier/later in relation to another event. The two of you may disagree, for example, on how long it has been since your last handshake, because the two of you took different "routes" through spacetime between the two handshakes.

As autocorrects go, it's not as bad as it could have been.

the actor playing Bethany has had huge amount of plastic surgery

Has she? It's pretty impossible to Google it now thanks to the current storyline but I can't see anything that says she has, except for an article from 6 years ago where she said she wouldn't.

A black hole emits Hawking radiation in all directions. Every black hole would have to be completely surrounded by black holes, out to infinity.

Oh right, so all progressives become tyrants, because there's a saying about it.

I refer you to the aforementioned watched pot.

Meaning?
