AI Thread Summary
To calculate the peak speed and time dilation for a spacecraft accelerating at 1 G to the halfway point of a journey to another solar system, then decelerating at the same rate, the relevant formulas involve relativistic physics. The spacecraft should be designed to simulate Earth-like gravity during acceleration and deceleration phases. The time dilation experienced by the crew can be calculated using the Lorentz factor, which incorporates the ship's velocity as it approaches relativistic speeds. The discussion references a specific resource for further understanding of the physics involved in such scenarios. Incorporating acceleration into the time dilation formula requires understanding how velocity changes over time during the acceleration phase.

Hi,
If I want my spacecraft to accelerate at a rate that produces 1 G for a set distance (half way to another solar system) then decelerate at the same rate for the second half of the trip, what formula would I use? I would like to calculate the peak speed of the ship and the time dilation experienced by the crew.

My thoughts are to design the spacecraft so that the crew would experience Earth like 'gravity' while it accelerates, then at the half way point, the ship would flip 180 degrees so the crew would continue to experience the same 'gravity' while it slows for the second half of the trip. I also need to know how much time will pass for the crew. phyzguy gave me the formula for the time dilation but I don't know how to incorporate acceleration over time into it.

Thread 'AI and the Human Body'

I'm currently writing a novel in which my main character was a victim of experimentation (cliche, I know) but has no memory of it. In the experimentation, technology was implanted in the character's body, allowing an AI algorithm to run off of the character and fuse it's psychological aspects with an actual human's. I'm not super knowledgeable in science such as this, and I'm sure doing this would be incredibly hard, if not impossible, to do. So for the sake of keeping the peace, let's just...

Thread 'Red Dwarf Star Systems--Could they support life?'

This is a question for people who know about astrophysics. It's been said that the habitable zones around red dwarf stars are so close to those stars that any planets in the zones would be tidally locked to the stars in question. With one side roasting and another side freezing almost forever, those planets wouldn't be hospitable to life. a) Could there be forms of life--whole ecologies--that first evolve in the planet's twilight zone and then extend their habitat by burrowing...

Thread 'AI Consciousness?'

I know this topic is extremely contraversial and debated, but I'm writing a book where an AI attempts to become as human as possible. Would it, eventually, especially in the far future, be possible for an AI to gain a conscious? To be clear, my definition of a consciousness being the ability to possess self-created morals, thoughts, and views, AKA a whole personality. And if this is possible (and let's just say it is for this question), about how long may it take for something to happen...
