Thank you. I appreciate the thoughtful response.

Thank you. I appreciate the thoughtful response.

It does. Great video. Thank you. I still have my uncle’s slide rule :)

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I really do appreciate people taking the time to respond. So, let me ask, theoretically speaking, if we launched a spacecraft that had propulsion and kept moving that craft to a point where it’s relative time, as compared to a clock on earth, ran the...

Uh, I disagree. There is a way to change one’s perception of “reality”

At rest? That’s exactly what I’m proposing

Oh, my bad. I thought we could think of “thought experiments” in this forum. I didn’t realize we had to have experimental evidence.

And the fact that we have no idea of our absolute movement doesn’t bother you?

Maybe, instead of sending me references, you could guide me? Let’s not regurgitate information we already have and instead, maybe come up with new ideas

I see. So time does not progress slower with increasing velocity near C?

Oh, I thought that if I traveled at near light speed, time would progress faster. You’re saying that it wouldn’t. That the time time light traveled between objects would be irrelevant to my velocity?

Let’s change that

Again, thank you for taking the time to respond. I certainly don’t want to irritate you any further so if you don’t want to respond I understand. So, if I’m traveling at near light speed and time the travel of light from the sun to the earth it would be the same as if I was on earth? The time of...

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to an absolute layman. If I were traveling at near light speed, would I not perceive the light traveling from the sun to the earth faster than someone on earth?

So, light has no velocity if not relative to something? Would that not contradict the concept of a constant?
