It'd be cooler if the video wasn't such terrible quality.

Also it'd be cooler if I knew what it was talking about.

It's from 1997 so that kind of explains the quality.

I wonder if their program would crash if you went over 1c.

I was having fun wathcing that until I started to comprehend it and then my head shrunk into a point of nothingness.

I'm building up the courage to watch it again, because I was scared I was going to get sucked out of the end of the universe and I woke up sweating on the floor.

I should probably go to sleep.

Relativity should not be taught in school because God doesn't like it.

It's likely it would crash if you went exactly 1c; you'd get a divide be 0. Over 1c though it could probably still simulate... and I have no idea what it would look like. If you could see anything at all it would look like stuff was happening backwards in time; it'd be weird.
