Ok, so I have had a lot of spare time and started pondering the things of the universe. Mainly problems looking at time dilation, mass dilation, length dilation and gravity. So one day I came up with a question that I have been unable to answer and I wonder if it is answerable or if there are too many unknowns.
The Situation:
Let's say you have a jetpack out in space. Both you and the jetpack have a mass of 100kg together. This jetpack allows you to approach the speed of light. You are located 10,000,000,000,000 km's away from the earth. So you decide to use this jetpack to approach the speed of light in a circle with diameter of 100km's. Your aim is to relocate the Earth to your position using the gravitational force created from your mass increase as you approach the speed of light. You approach the speed of light for what appears to be 20 minutes from your perspective. In relation to the speed of light ( c ) how fast were you travelling?
Extra notes:
- Neither you or the Earth are affected by any other gravitational force.
- Your jetpack never runs out of fuel.
- You don't need to eat, drink, breathe or go to the toilet.
- Your circle is not affected by centrivical force.
- Scale between distance and time could contradict each other
- If i have missed any other crucial exceptions please do mention them but then carry on as if they were irelevant
