I’m just goofing around. The visualizations are all funny. If I’m perpendicular to the axis of motion, I appear to get faster and thinner at the same time.

Had a rude thought... kinda sounds like we would become plasma like.

I think humans are living longer due to advances in medicine and especially dentistry. Plus, we're slowly learning the diets that promote life and which ones promote death.
