Buy a car with cash new for $20,000
turn it in to a cab for 100,000 miles,
I calculate 65 cents a mile cost,
more if you get a loan for the car.

Lets say the fair is $1 dollar per mile.
You take someone 25 miles.
That's 25 dollars minus 20% for boober,
25 - 5 = 20 minus your cost a minimum of 65 cents per mile,
.65 times 25 miles, in this case $16.25
equals $3.75 - income tax = $2.88 for a half hour trip,
that is after tax income of $5.77 per hour.
Don't forget to pay for the phone.

Your car cost per mile in reality.
Car new $20,000.
Figure the car lasts 100,000 miles hard use.
20,000 Divided by 100,000 equals .20 cents a mile.
You get 20 miles per gallon with the air on
in the city if you are lucky.That's 5000 gallons
to go 100,000 miles at currently $4 bucks a gallon.
4 times 5000 is $20,000 Divided by 100,000 equals .20 cents a mile.
We are now at .40 cents per mile cost to drive your car.
Now figure insurance,registration,smog checks 4 sets of tires
at $400 each set to go 100,000 miles,oil changes, breaks
shocks and struts,all fluids,alignments and so on.
We are now at a minimum of .50 cents a mile.
Now add in the oh shit factor and we are at
.65 cents a mile.
I wouldn't take a fair less than $1.99 a mile.

I did my own double slit experiment.
I found that if I hold the light six feet
away from the material with the two slits
I get no interference pattern, just two
bright lines on my screen.
I can only conclude that after light travels
six feet it becomes a particle.

If the Earth curves the space around it,
does metal stick to a magnet because the
space around the magnet is curved by the magnet?

You have two space ships A and B 200,000 miles apart
traveling on a parallel course at a constant velocity.
Ship A fires a laser 90 degrees to the course at a target on ship B.
Ship B marks the laser impact point on the target
while the laser continues to fire.
Now both ships accelerate at the same rate.
Does the laser continue to hit the target
on ship B at the same point?

Comedy relief in a weird universe that might be true.
Subject: Photon entanglement.
Question: How can information travel between two
photons that are far apart instantaneously?
Explanation:
Using the lorentz transforms to convert to the photon's reality.
Two photons are created at the same time and the same place.
Because the photons travel at the speed of light,
from their perspective the length of the universe in the direction of travel is zero
and time stops. When you perform an experiment on one of them
it affects both of them because they are both at the same place and time
from their perspective.
This also explains why interacting with a photon in our present
can affect it's past from our perspective.
One way to test this would be to perform an experiment where
the photons travel in a medium that causes them to travel
slower than the speed of light, time would pass and they would
move apart from their perspective.
This sounds weird which proves it could be correct.

If our reality is a simulation running on an
alien's smart phone,
memory leaks could occur and photons could be
lost if the alien shuts the simulation down
temporarily to play flappy bird.

If you accelerate a particle and observe
it's mass increase,
does it's gravity also increase?
