Hi. I was thinking about SR and the theory that you can use its predictions to travel into the future (well...in less time than stationary observers). But I just though it this, I was hopeing someone can clear this up for me.
I originally though...
If I travel at .9c, time runs slow for me from a statoinary reference frame. And in my frame of reference, time is running fast around me. Hence, I can travel into the future.
Now I think...
I travel at .9c, time runs slow for me from a stationary reference frame. But from my frame of reference, I am stationary and everything around me is traveling at .9c. So when my body of motion comes to rest. more time would have passed up for me.
The second one makes little sense at all, but can somebody please clear this up for me.
Thanks in advance
