There’s some argument that most empires last 250 year. It’s how long it takes for sentiments to shift over the generations from “all in this together” to “f u I got mine” and the thing to fall apart.

They believe they’re better than everyone else because they’re wealthy. But if someone can do things they can’t, that ego doesn’t like it much. Removing that uncomfortable feeling in a high priority for the rich.

Because the communists were starting to win during and after the Great Depression and to keep them out of government, money was thrown around that created the middle class. And after the competition was destroyed, middle class became redundant and they started to extract no money out of that class.

The light you see would be blue shifted because of the speed you’re going and become gamma rays for you. Radio waves would shift to visible light. So you would see radio.
If you would move that fast on the ground, you’d slam into air molecules at light speed, causing a huge shockwave like a continuous Hiroshima nuke going of. That would make you sad.

I should also note that the mutinies were not violent. They didn’t attack their officers. They often just refused to move or attack.
Simple desertion happens a lot more. Mutiny is also common enough. But this is the cleanest standing aside.

That’s history repeating once again. The rich abuse the poor, pick a fight, conscript the poor and are then shocked when the abused farmers would just stand aside when the attack came. Smart nobility knew this is a two way even street.

And so far the flying cars that exist are about 10 times as expensive as normal cars. One of those things you buy if you already got the Lamborghini and have still an empty spot in the garage.
