Sigh of relief, I'm too strange to be impersonated  .
KrazyHorse:
Actually, no. Here's how it works.
In order to work with the largest values for starship mass and Field electron velocity (as a function of Field voltage), let's assume a vessel 100 feet in diameter. First, calculate such a vessel's total relativistic mass at a velocity which corresponds to its Field electron collision speed: the reason being that it will be interesting to see what happens when the starship reaches a velocity which a reactionary ion-thrusted rocket, having the same exhaust speed, couldn't possible exceed.
The next step will be to compute the starship's expected foreshortening in the direction of travel, according to the Lorentz contraction which is an inevitable consequence of relativity. This 'shrinking' of the vessel's length along its axis of velocity may be figured according to the most fundamental factor or expression in relativity theory, which is sometimes called the FitzGerald ratio. This factor, usually designated as t (tau), is equal to (1 - v2/c2)1/2 and is used in any calculation of relativistic mass or time dilation.

If it's such a great day for baseball, why stop at 2 ?
I'll tell you why.
It's because the democrats have to find someone willing to work hard enough to play even 1.
