Really, I would like to know both, but career outlook is more important to me.

Thank you Tiny-Tim! I believe I understand it now!

I still have a long time to decide, but I am interested in the fields of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Here are my questions about them: 1. What field has the best outlook for the future? 2. Is there a degree that provides flexiblitiy in the choice? 3.What fields have the most...

Also, I changed my mind. I will only post questions.

If light is not affected by time dilation, are there any "light clocks" to measure time exactly without the effects of time dilation? Or am I still getting the concept wrong?

I require more clarification. If I am not actually moving at 99% of c, is it because the frame of reference is moving at 99% of c? If so, would the frame of reference would see me as moving slower than c?

I think I will come back to physics forum when I am older. For now I will only look at posts, not post myself or reply. Thank you for clearing up my question, though.

Is it because time dillation only affects objects with mass, and photons do not?

Please explain this to me Drakkith. I'm only 12 years old.

What did I say wrong then?

I know the textbooks say light travels 186,282.4 mps, but if time slows for a very fast object, how do scientists really know the speed of a photon?

I'm sorry, I mispoke. Unless the star is very close to the black hole, it is likely that some of the light will come in our direction.

If time did not exsist, what would prevent everything from happening at once?
