Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

You mean he pushes it (change in velocity), not actually moving it (change in position), right? Due to the zero amount of time passing, the acceleration in the letter case would be... Given the bouncy nature of everything only the atoms he touched would receive a near infinite acceleration, this would then gradually lower to a more manageable number by the time the soft stuff of your seat pushes against you. But if those increments are not small enough (like below 10 cm per event), you would simply die. The car would quickly be a pile of rubble anyway.

Stop motion is definitely finer than 10cm/event. Time wizards have a tendency to do Inceptions and run macros. They let the spells fractalize to buffer out cataclysmic accelerations, it's covered in Chronomancy 103.

Ah crap, didn't get a copy, must have been lost in mail. Thanks for the info.
