Im trying to go to sleep but I keep having these thoughts.
Note when I say kike "for a year" I mean relative earth time.
Okay, from the pov(point of view) of a photon, it is teleporting, going from point A to point B instantly.And its only from our pov that light seems to go so slow, taking millions of years to get from star to star.
Now the faster you go, the faster time seems to fly by. If you spend a year traveling at 50% the speed of light, it will feel like 6 months. It will only be a year for the observers.
But speed isnt the only thing that affects the rate time moves. If someone stood in a machine that made their rate of relative time passage the same as someone going 50% the speed of light, would the person in the machine, watching the person going 50% the speed of light for a year, feel like only 6 months had passed, or would it also feel like a year, in some wort of strange quantum limbo.
