Spoiler/wing on the roof for less drag

The airflow won't separate from the vehicle based on speed. (not until you get transonic, which isn't a concern on the CT)...

Thanks. I'll go ahead with the triple flux capacitor hack then.

Just remember, Einstein said that time changes based on your velocity relative to the speed of light. And with the TFC hack at 88mph, your tire tracks catch fire and all sorts of other stuff happens. Next thing you know, dogs and cats are sleeping together and...

Einstein predicted it. It was proven by orbiting satellites, like Gravity Probe. In fact, the GPS guide stars have to deal with time dilation constantly.

Yes, Al just had a theory. But the (if memory serves me) .003 second/day time delta that the GPS sats correct for is not just speed, but also Einstein’s theory regarding distance from a large mass.

Respect there my brother geek.

Don’t you hear me call-ing you?

It’s still calculating “time dialation,” just dilations with respect to an observer on the earth’s surface at distance and in a gravitational field (because those are the clocks that GPS satellites are comparing), not a theoretic clock-at-infinity

which is to say, they are calculating for a context-relative time dilation, not just dilations for speed alone all else assumed constant

mind blowing, awe-inspiring, stuff

I've "plaid" around with the CT aero in a fluid dynamics simulator...

The next time you plai around with it, would you mind modeling a 30' Airstream trailer behind? I'm wondering if towing with a bit higher rear suspension setting would have any positive impact on aerodynamics with a travel trailer.

It seems a shame to allow the airflow to drop all the way back down behind the CyberTruck only to have to shove it back up again when it strikes the front of my travel trailer. I'm thinking there must be some way to help the airflow to stay high between the truck and the trailer to make it more slippery. I thought a camper shell might do the trick, but short of that, whether a boosted rear end suspension would help or hurt. Yeah, the headlights would need to auto-adjust and the increasing void underneath the rear would needlessly increase downforce, so I'm guessing it would be a bad idea. ??

I was just excited to gush that my spouse worked on the Gravity-Probe B mission in her last job ^-^

In the same building they had their equipment was all the prototype GPS test equipment in the basement. Some of the same scientists worked on it as GP-B. It was cool listening to them explain it and point to the plastic boxes with excitement.

Time dilation is also present if you observe someone from afar at the Great Pyramids. While the dilation is extremely small, from afar, people around the pyramids are moving at a very slight slower motion.

Wait. I think there are rules against combining 80's movies...
