i mean that if you could travel at very close to the speed of light(ignoring the acceleration problem for the moment another thread for another day)that you could travel very great distances within a heartbeat and this would give you the "appearance" that you traveled faster than light
can i...
thougtht id share this link i found with all the posts disagreeing with the ,appearance of ftl travel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
thanks for the help
all i want to know is if you travel a couple of thousand lyrs at close to the speed of light that you wouldn't die of old age before you got there
"i don't think you can travel FLT"
or is my understanding of this wrong?
will the watch on the person show that he has taken less than or more than 10 years to travell?
when he gets to point B will the distance between point B and A still be 10lyrs??
could you answer these 2 points please without going of on a tangent i am new to this
thanks
S would be different if you measured it while traveling but when you get to point b it will be 10 lyrs
is it possible to travell great distances at close to the speed of light that would give you the appearance that you traveled faster than light??
yawn
will it not appear to the person when he gets to point b that he has traveled faster than light,thats what's bugging me ?
thanks for the replys i will dig deeper into spacetime/lorentz info
thanks
hi there looking for answers/explanation for this thought
if a spaceship was to travel 10 light years at 75% the speed of light how long would it take(from the person inside the spaceships point off view) to travel 10 lightyears and what would be the average speed
thanks
