Hey all,
Just a thought experiement here. With time dilation caused by gravity and relative velocity being a confirmed phenomena, do you think it's possible that other worlds that are extremely far away from each other, and are moving at a very high speeds relative to one another with different vastly differing gravitational fields are able to exist and play out their whole existence, relative say to only a years amount of time on another world. I am wording this question terribly, but its a lot like the twin paradox where one travels close to C realitive to his twin, and experiences a years time himself, but its like 10 years for his stationary twin back on earth. Basically, I am asking if there are large enough velocity and gravity difference between planets for this to happen on a large scale (ex: after 1 year on earth, a planet on the other side of the universe experiences say a century, or millennium even.
It seems to me that these time difference between planets do exist without a doubt, because we know time dilation in real, and we also know everything in the universe is moving at varying speeds to one another. I just want to know to what magnitude this would be possible.
Cheers!
