Graduate Gravity offsetting Velocity's Time Dialation? Trouble Understanding
Yes. This is why I said using "fabricated" numbers. The popular scenario seems to suggest one traveling at close to the speed of light for X amount of Earth Years (1, for example's sake) would return to Earth to find it's population either very old or dead. This is why I suggested that perhaps...- Eng1n33r

Hypothetically (and somewhat fictionally, using fabricated numbers) speaking, if I floated in space away from any mass for 1 "Earth Year," then had Scotty instantly beam me back to Earth (and...- Eng1n33r

Hi All, I am new to these forums. I've been studying relativity in my down time at work and I am having a bit of trouble understanding why gravity doesn't offset velocity in the popular "aging/time travel" theory/scenario. I’ll explain: What I think I understand: The speed of light is...- Eng1n33r
