How? Why? He sees the Earth's clock moving slowly relative to his. The reverse would be true. Unless something happens when he turns around.

B is the traveler. He is supposed to be traveling into the Earth's future. From the Earth perspective. Apparently not from his. Which is it?

If someone stationary on Earth watches a vehicle leaving Earth very fast he sees that time is dilating for that vehicle. Any clocks he sees slow down. But since motion is relative the traveler sees the Earth race away from him at a high speed and the same thing happens. He sees the Earth clock...

Its all really one event not two would be a safe assumption.

Never declaring anything wrong.

There are many events that take place that are no where near that fast. Also, to make you perfectly immune to any changes or effects if you were traveling faster than light than obviously not an issue. Quick answer.

I am just trying to say things are possible. If you go back in time and make changes that do not affect you than you are safe. If you did your parents in there is the idea of suicide. Physics would allow this. Just an example: if I drop a ball it takes time to hit the ground. Cause &effect. If...

No. There is no meeting a copy of you that would be your younger self. The traveler is moving back & forth along the timeline.

Time travel is logically possible. IF you moved faster than light or even a little less with time-dilation taking effect you live on another timeline. It is not synchronized with those on Earth.Therefore events that happen on Earth like killing your parents before birth cannot reach you. True?🤔

Not a great question but I heard someone say that time does not move for a photon. T=0. So therefore both its Emission &Absorption are simultaneous events. I say no. If both of these events are supposed to be considered different events than there would need to be a time interval between them...

I can measure what is going on from Earth...

My point is not about clocks but time itself.🫡

In his formula if V were 2C than that fraction reduces to 2 and the result is a √-1 in the denominator. How is that to be interpreted in a time formula?🤔

Thanks for all responses...

But for light it goes or is at zero? Does the math say this? Why would clocks magically stop? If that ship was 99.99999999 % light speed time would still be normal. But that last decimal point bang...the clocks stop.
