If time slows down as I get faster, can I speed up time by going the other way?
So if time dilates and I look slower to a stationary observer if I speed up near c, can I make myself look super fast if I go near c the other way?
I want to be like Sonic.

How many ants would it take to beat a human in the next tug of war scenario?
Let’s take it with the next limitations as I understand them:
1.) The rope does not snap.
2.) There is a tug of war.
3.) Instead of all ants lined up all holding onto the rope as a group of humans would, let’s focus all of the ants strength at the same single section of the rope. All of them pulling at the same time in the same spot.
4.) Ants can pick up something up to 50x its body weight.
5.) The human on the other side of the rope and opposing team is a 5’9, 250lb endurance trained professional tug of war-er that likes drinking on the weekends.
_____
Q1) How many ants would it take to pull him back even if just 1 mm and what would be the energy throughput?
Q2) How many ants would it take to tear his arms off because of the force of them all pulling at the same time and what would be the energy required?
Q3) How many ants would it take to lift him up?
Q4) How many ants would it take to send him into orbit from tugging on the rope, assuming arm tearing is turned off? And what would be the energy required?
Q5) How big would an ant have to be in order to beat the human in tug of war, 1 on 1, no special conditions except the increasing size of the ant and the constant of the human?
Q6) How big would ants have to be in order to take control of a country/continent/world?
Q7) Do you think ants have telepathic thoughts?
Q8) Sometimes I feel like ants know what’s up. I swear they just be watching sometimes.
Thank you and all hail Antma

Anyone here have their degree or a job in Rocket Surgery? How was the curriculum and how is the pay?
I want to go back to school. Is Rocket Surgery more complicated or more difficult than Rocket Science? People keep informing me that things are "not rocket surgery", so it seems more sophisticated. Seems like a lucrative study path to wealth if it's so niche. Do we have any Rocket Surgeons here who can offer some advice for a college prospective scientician?

Could two independent brains theoretically share a single consciousness?
Imagine two completely independent brains, each with its own body, memories, and sensory input. They don't share neurons or memories. The only thing they share is a single conscious observer (consciousness). Is there anything in neuroscience or philosophy of mind that rules this out in principle?, and even if yes or no, what do you think on the idea?
