Immortality also does not inherently come with eternal youth and health.

Intersting stuff here. Yeah, imagine immortality kicking in when you are 92 years old and laying on your death bed.

While we are in our theoretical and scientific modes, If you were in a vehicle traveling at the speed of light and you activated a light on the outside of your vehicle in the direction you are travelling would the light be seen?

My answer is no. If you are travelling the same speed as the light it does not have a chance to get out in front of you. But if the light was on before you hit the speed of light in the vehicle it would be seen.

I believe Einstein considered this thought experiment and concluded that the light would be seen. You can't actually travel at the speed of light because that would require infinite energy.

Does immportality come with inability to kill yourself? After several centuries it could become quite miserable, assuming you would be living as a normal human being.

There are lots of popular media depicting eternal life as sort of a suffering. Pure immortality is not something proper to have on this planet/realm.

Presumably I imagine that "immortality" does not inherently come with the ability to travel aimlessly through worlds and galaxies.

The inevitable fate of the immortal is to be sucked by the gravity of a star.

To be honest I believe mankind will be able to do long scale space travel until that happens (which may be in billions of years, according to some predictions).

You looked like you were prowling the streets for a victim of some sort, until you started doing doughnuts.

You should have added the opening theme to "Drive" at the start.

A bit pointless question. How would a scientist answer to what would happen if the laws of physics were broken down when the scientist has nothing but those laws to work with?

The speed of light is always c in all inertial (i.e., constant velocity) frames of reference so even if you're travelling at 0.99c, the headlight would still move away at c from your perspective.

Custom A'PEXi air intake, lowered on TRD springs, big bore.
And I just finished replacing the dash lights with blue LED ones, and also has painted callipers with decals. (Not really a customisation though)

RS200 is just the name given to the performance model of the Toyota Altezza / Lexus IS200

Well the light coming from your vehicle travelling at the speed of light would travel at twice the speed of light obviously. Like, duh.

so the answer is no. you really haven't done anything to it.

with a little bit of work, that stock engine can put out in the neighborhood of 300hp fairly easy with just some addons.
start getting into the guts & i could see that number getting closer to 350-400hp

course all those fat chicks you hook up with would start to become useful for something besides warmth in the winter and shade in the summer. - toss 'em in back to keep the wheels pinned to the ground for tracktion

HAhahahaa. I'm just busting your balls dude, I actually like Altezzas. I'm just acting like that stereotypical "Buy American Faggot." We've got way too many of those here.

Are Honda owners just as bad in the N to the Z as the USA?

This car's chassis has all the torsional rigidity of a wet paper towel, and I love it. It cowl shakes like Michael J. Fox on bumpy roads, and the rear axle bashes the Flowmaster exhaust when you hit a big bump. I absolutely love how poorly refined muscle cars are.

FORCED INDUCTION. NOW.

Also it's depressing just how shitty and conservative TRD is stateside.
