Undergrad Farthest distance a human can travel from Earth in a life
Thanks for the help, the relativistic rocket is a really helpful article. I'm still trying to figure out which exact equation describes the distance as a function of acceleration and time.- James Horner

Undergrad Farthest distance a human can travel from Earth in a life
I understand classical acceleration equations, my question is how far the spaceship would be taking into account time dilation, length contraction, ext...- James Horner

Undergrad Farthest distance a human can travel from Earth in a life
I've been stuck on this physics problem for several years now. I would be very grateful if someone could explain how to solve this problem. The farthest a human could travel from Earth in one lifetime theoretically is limited only by the acceleration a human can withstand, and the length of...- James Horner
