Not just are you too dense to "see" it, but you are too boneheaded to
use the common sense that God gave us all to even consider the fact
that exerting force for twice as long consumes twice as much energy:
That effort and energy consumption are proportional to time;
independent of the distance over which the force and effort acts:

Distance, orientation and motion are "relative"; to the motion and
orientation of the observers of it. That's what relativity's all
about, you dumb jackanapes's(;^)
