This didn't seem to fit in any of the art threads, and I didn't want to make a brand new thread just for it, so: I made this.

It wouldn't work. You'd need a troll already on Mars.

I'm all about making jokes at your own expense by making glaringly obvious errors about anything.

That he's missing his helmet in the second mars panel pisses me off to no end though.

Well, if they managed to find a perfectly rigid 300 gigameter stick light enough to be handled by a human operator, it might kinda work. I'm not letting these idiots use my penis though.

c is the functional limit at which any signal can be transmitted, but I can't remember the experiments that demonstrate that. Crap. I'll ask roast beef later.
Well, if they managed to find a magic 300 gigameter stick magic enough to be handled by a human operator, it might kinda work.

The problem is that non-magical sticks need to be made of atoms, which have electric requirements for how they sit next to each other.

But let's even suppose we could ignore (sorry, I almost forgot) magic most of those and use a stick of solid-state hydrogen, whose each individual atom makes a perfectly direct conga-line to Mars. All atoms have a functional mass and volume that they occupy at constant temperature and pressure. Both of which are abstractions that no longer apply to our magic stick, and worse, get wonky for hydrogen at really low values.

So let's use some more magic and make this magic stick formed of hydrogen magic bonds so that I can be lazy and use the radii found on the wiki for hydrogen's Van der Wall's radius.

That's an even 5*10^22 atoms. Continuing to dick around ineptly with our magic stick, this comes to a modest 87 milligrams of weight! So what point am I trying to make?
Well, this is a conga-line, remember? And they don't start off being directed in motion towards the Martian troll. What the Terran troll is doing is effectively tackling the back of the conga-line and making it stumble onto the Martian troll, creating a domino chain of falling, drunk wedding-goers (more fun than a conga-line, really). Each one of these ideal, magically held-in-place and completely smashed dominoes falls and continues the reaction at a regular and not-at-all instantaneous pace.

The pace for every non-magical object we've done this to has been c or less.


Well, that was useless and long-winded and worse, way outside of my normal realm of science wankery. I'm going to go cry into my drink now.

No but if you push one end of a stick the other moves instantly

Also Earth and Mars are always at the exact same distance from one another, which makes it that much easier to aim when I want to get a Martian handjob from the comfort of my room.

I dig your practical science!

You're trolling?
No, it doesn't. Because that end of the stick is an atom, and to move the atom at the other end of the stick, the push has to travel from that first atom through the 1/10th of a mole atoms. It does that by each atom pushing each other atom sequentially. It's not instantaneous.

"Push" isn't a science thing. You don't hear physicists talking about "push".

Would you be happier if I called it "Applied Force"? "Mechanical Energy"? Or how about, "series of complex electric potential field interactions that the average person never thinks about nor has acquired any intuition for in his day-to-day dealings even though all of reality is the product of the gestalt of these very small changes"?

No, I have a better one. How about instead of, "the push," we use the term, "your mom's slack, slutty asshole," because that's something every physicist I know talks about. She gets around. It's impressive. She's a force of nature. Her nickname is the Large Hard-on Collider. She's integral (in her own way) to advancing our knowledge of the fundamental workings of the physical world.
