View submission: What If?: Letter to Mom
And yet another What If that ends with massive death and destruction.
I'm disappointed he didn't explore the possibilities of teleportation. Can't get much faster than the speed of light.

Teleportation destroys the original letter and merely makes a copy at his mother's house, it is not handwritten, it was written by the teleporter. He might as well send an email.

"I'm looking for a way to send this letter to my mom"
"Here's the fastest one. It'll also destroy your letter and the person who gets it."
"Wtf, man."

Well he could look at the possibility of using some form of Alcubierre drive to go even faster, though doubtless a look at the energies involved would result in yet more death and destruction for both sender and receiver.
