hey guys,
I need some tech support for a spaceship in a story that is currently in the works :)
Assuming the characters could get their ship up to the speed up light in real space (no hyper drive or warp drives) What would the effects of time dilation be on the crew? Time slows down as you approach the speed of light but what happens when you actually reach that barrier? does time stop for the crew? A trip to Alpha Centuri would take 4 years to the outside world but to the crew how much time will have passed?
Thanks for the help
