And, um,
And so that leads you down the path of general relativity and warp drive and that way of thinking, right?
No, I don't exactly.
But then the other problem is power.
If you look at energies and power involved, the amount of power for that tic-tac dropping is something like, what was it?
It was 1,100 gigawatts of power.
You know, I remember Back to the Future with Doc Brown, 2.1 gigawatts.
Like, that's crazy or something.
This thing was 1,100 gigawatts, right?
That's right.
Yeah, so this is more power.
The Tic-Tac maneuver took more power than the total nuclear power output of the United States.
In that tic-tac, in the size of an F-18.
I mean, that's crazy.
And so now, how do you get your head around that?
So let's say they can deal with that kind of power.
For some reason, they have access to that much energy.
Equipment is never 100% efficient.
Right.
So a 1% inefficiency.
