The question of the year!!

Well here they are in my cellar waiting for summer, I hope the link still works , You might have to click on

Kia Stinger GT 19" OEM Wheels & Tires | eBay

Did you buy the tires too?

 

[rocket23]

Kinda had too....they came together, 900 bucks 2 sets of center caps,oem and ''E'' badeged.....all the lugs plus a set of matching lock lugs........well worth the coin.....even if I only get one season out of the rubber.

Very disappointed with this thread. I came here expecting to be stumped by "the question of the year" but this one is pretty obvious and I see others have already chimed in.

The 4 cylinder Stinger is built on the exact same chassis as the 3.3t, including the hubs and struts. The struts are the same MacPherson strut design. Wheel fitment will be identical between the two.

Well hell, time for some ''brembos'' ,lol...I'll have a ''gt'' version in no time!!
Sorry for the disappointment,
But if ya want a question , here ya go....
If you're traveling at the speed of light and turn on the headlights will they do anything??

I gotta say though, good job on the subject line. It hooked me for sure!

To do the Brembo's you'll need to research what type of caliper carrier the 3.3t uses as i'm sure it is different than the 2.0. You'll also need the larger rotors and of course the calipers and pads. It would be a pretty pricey upgrade.

Your other question stumped me. Nicely done.

If you're traveling at the speed of light and turn on the headlights will they do anything??

Yes, because the origin is at light speed and therefore you have light speed x 2. There you go.

You would not have "c" x 2. Only "c." ...Theoretically...

 

[rocket23]

Here we go!

 

[nhcowboy28]

Only if you have your headlight fluid filled prior to launch.

I only knew of the blinker fluid being a problem.........I hope it doesn't leak , I wouldn't know where to refill it.....

See that is what makes no sense at all: Here I am at light speed and everything just stops. If I shoot a bullet it doesn't leave the barrel? Ludicrous theory. Where I am becomes irrelevant to anything traveling slower, but not to me, the traveler. If I am moving one "click" less than light speed, and I shoot that bullet, it is not going to travel only up to and including light speed. So anything traveling at or near light speed is the origin point for what may originate from that. Everything in the universe that is visible is in fact traveling at light speed, or else it would not be perceived. If you want to cease to exist in the universe, find a way to travel slower than or faster than light speed. That is like leaving "here" and winding up in a different dimension.

It gets worse. If your Stinger is travelling at light speed it will likely form a mini blackhole, in which case all the light and bullets would collapse into you. Keep to no more than 150mph to be on the safe side.

Well, I did say you'd cease to exist "here" if you go faster or slower than the speed of light. But I won't end up shooting myself, regardless: the bullet leaves the barrel, as I hold my hand outside the moonroof, at 110 MPH. The Black Hole contains All, that is all. We don't care about all you slower travelers, and you no longer "see" us. The universe stays in balance.

Hmmm ... at light speed time ceases to pass. Because velocity = distance over time the velocity of the bullet is either infinite (which it can not because nothing travels faster than light) OR I should have paid more attention in physics class.

I stopped trying to listen when they said: "time stops". Theory only works for "here". It cannot extend beyond what we see, which is all speed of light. As soon as you step one miniscule faster, you vanish from the light horizon. Where, nobody can say; what you become, ditto. We know, or at least think we know, that objects furthest from the point of origin (the location of the BB) travel faster than anything else, and beyond that horizon there is "nothing". So at some point everything simply leaves this universe (beyond the horizon of light speed). Black holes are something else entirely. Hawking's theory that "stuff" leaves here and appears in some other universe; and that matter theoretically detected appearing in our universe (having therefore nothing to do with "our" BB) has left through a black hole "over there", is an elegant concept: opening the possibility of travel between universes as it were. The "crushing" in a black hole is only a theory that holds up from this point of observation. Nothing is lost. But it may change. I suspect that at the point where light no longer is perceived by everything at the speed of light, that the velocity has "burst" beyond the containment of this universe. That means it ceases to exist to the point of origin (here). But what it means for the object itself nobody can say. Imagination is as good as anything, since we cannot know what we do not see (anymore).

 

[Dick Dastardly]

The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, so travelling at 'c' plus would allow you to visit parts of the non-observable universe, (which I think is what you mean by leaving the universe?).
I suggest that the best way to do this is remove as many ancillary parts from your car as possible and get the resting mass to nothing (you may need to remove all higgs-boson particles by full detailing). Drive in an absolute vacuum (avoid all dark matter - if you keep your headlights on should be easy to spot) and you are in with a fighting chance.
As you approach the speed of light turn the rear fog lights on and the extra photon burst should push you into unknown territory. Send us a photo when you get there.

 

[MerlintheMad]

It should be obvious, that tint is wasted money by now. I'll have to think about rear fog lights. Never considered that before!

Relativity says that all observers always get the same measurement for "c." The speed of light is a constant and cannot be changed. It differs from your bullet analogy because a bullet has mass. Any object with any mass cannot achieve "c." Therefore any items in the universe with a mass are not traveling at "c" and light simply travels at "c," never more than "c." Just "c."

 

[Helo58]

The universe is expanding faster than the speed of light,

Relativity is what makes this theory fun for me (a novice). Is this saying that Point A in the universe is moving away from Point B in the universe faster than the speed of light? Is this like saying that two Stingers driving away from each other at 150mph are "expanding" the distance between them at 300mph. No (current) Stinger can travel at 300mph, so is that like saying that nothing in the universe is traveling faster than the speed of light? Haha, I have no idea!

 

[MerlintheMad]

Ah, but if I am going light speed, and fire a bullet in front of myself, what do I see? The bullet either stays in the barrel, or it goes fps away from me. If it goes fps away from me, it is now going faster than light speed. Someone traveling with me, standing in front of me, will possibly feel nothing, as the bullet leaves this universe; or possibly the bullet still exists "here" as it disappears, and it makes a hole through my fellow traveler anyway. For sure, if he's standing behind the forward motion at light speed, i.e. I am with my back to the direction of travel, the bullet's speed will remain within light speed and therefore will not disappear; and my victim will suffer normal damage.

You'll point to the mass cannot exceed light speed argument, and say that I myself cannot achieve light speed either. But then why do objects with mass disappear at the light horizon? They are supposedly traveling so fast that they leave the known universe, having vanished beyond the speed of light. So what has apparently been observed defies the physics; or so I am led to understand from what little I have encountered casually (you'll have gathered long before now that I am no astrophysicist).
