reactivist 

A person who immediately supports either physically, vocally, or interactively a cause or movement on the merit of how they feel about an issue or incident before all the facts surrounding the galvanizing issue or incident are completely known.

He was enraged at the apparent lack of concern for the feelings of those offended and immediately joined other reactivists on social media posting to get the offending party censured.

relativistic 

moving at an extremely high velocity.

From the Special Theory of Relativity published in 1905 by Albert Einstein and his expression e=mc^2.

Although this term is strictly a hyperbole, since only very small particles in lab accelerators can approach the speed of light, it's use can be an appropriate exaggeration in certain cases.

I just got passed by an R1, he was relativistic!

moral relativist 

A moral relativist is one with a snarky attitude and bloated sense of self-importance. They can be found loitering about college campus' for years on end in multiple graduate school programs. If you are unfortunate to have one in your freshman philosophy class they will ask "questions" that are not so carefully disguised claims of superiority over the professor and all other students. Often known to despise organized religion and wear anti-religious bigotry on his/her sleeve, while displaying outrage at all other forms of bigotry. They become loud and angry if you point out that such outrage ironically hinges on moral absolutism.

- There is no right and wrong, there is only perception of right and wrong.
- Is that so? Well you won't mind if I do this.
::smacks moral relativist in the mouth::
- OW! Why did you do that?
- I perceived it as the right thing to do during this conversation.

Reactivist 

A portmanteau of "Reactive Activist," refers to a person that expresses a knee-jerk reaction to a perceived issue that they know of solely because it was brought to their attention; either by pop culture osmosis or explicitly brought to them. The issues they bring up are usually missing context that the Reactivist is either unaware of or refuses to research out of fear of being wrong. This is sometimes to get attention, but usually is because it's easier to give a hot take on social media than make an informed opinion.

Anime girl: *Is an adult, but short*
Reactivists: Clearly this is an underage girl, how dare anime.

Relativistic Travel

Getting from A to B at a high enough velocity that Einstein's Special Relativity stops being a math problem and becomes your travel agent. The key feature is time dilation: for the travelers moving at a substantial fraction of light speed, time passes slower than for the people they left behind. You can cross the galaxy within a human lifetime... but you'll return to a future where everyone you know is dust.

*Example: The classic Twin Paradox. One twin blasts off on a round-trip to a star 10 light-years away at 99% light speed. For her, the journey might take 15 years. She comes home only 15 years older. But on Earth, over 20 years have passed. Her stay-at-home brother is now older than her. This isn't sci-fi magic; it's a direct prediction of tested physics. Relativistic travel is the ultimate "you can't go home again" scenario, because home exists thousands of years in your future.*
