All of this is so bizarre :D. Thanks for the input. I'll definitely check out that article, but I think that 30 mins before bed is not the best time to do so.

So, then, if I'm understanding correctly (and bare with me, I'm very much a laymen when it comes to physics), the traveler will experience time passage at only 14% of that of the observer (earth)? So, based on what you've given me, if 15 years passed on earth, only 2.1 years would have passed...

I suppose that makes sense. Then I guess I'll ask the next closest question: What is the answer to the above if we substitute 2 times the speed of light for 99% the speed of light?

This sounds like a homework question, but I promise you it's not (I'm not even a student). To be honest, the question is simply for my own personal curiosity, to test a theory about a video game. My question is this: If an astronaut traveled for 15 years (their time) at twice the speed of...
