1st - cause that's boring. (Not that I'm not considering it for other stories). But this story only works if some form of FTL is accomplished .
2nd, if I where to be using time dilation I would use an acceleration much higher, at least 10-20 G's.
Okay, assuming that instantaneous travel allows you to go to x number of light years, but at x number of years in the past you would have an interesting situation - those at home would be able to receive data from you immediately, but you would still be x years away from them when you decided to...
Which is why I used the word instantaneous. AKAIK the only problem with instantaneous travel is that you may 'somehow' put yourself back in time - that is what I want to know about.
A common belief about Star Trek for example, is that they utilize an alternate universe that is either very...
As far as sci-fi goes, either the method of which you traveled (Wormhole/Alternate Universe) maintains a consistent time frame or some how 'magically' there is a yet undiscovered rule of causality that saves you.
Problem is that people who know more than me claim that any FTL causes timetravel...
Thank you for all your answers.
On the topic of me wanting to 'study', I want to, I'm actually thinking of doing a degree in a couple years majoring mathematics so that I can understand some of this stuff(and a lot of other high-end stuff). But, that doesn't help me in the hear and now -...
Hello,
I am attempting to write a script (for fun) which outlines a realistic scenario in which humanity travels to the stars within, say, 30 years. Given the short time frame, I'm thinking about using various forms of FTL travel. By my definition, FTL includes any means of getting from A...
