I'm not sure I understand. Relative to movement outside of the craft I suppose.

The gravitational pull in gravitational time dilation would cause pressure would it not? The closer you are the more presure, the more time dilation. Although I must admitt that I might have found something wrong with my theory anyway. Is acceleration the only thing that causes pressure when we talk of movement or does all velocity cause pressure (even if you can't feel it.) On Earth you are alwas pushed down into your vehicle by gravity, but assuming that you maintained a constant speed in space would there still be pressure?

"Have fun countering it, because I've got a boatload of empirical data on my side." I'm not talking about disproving special relativity, but finding a way for my theory to live in harmony with it. Thanks, now I'll go look that up and hopefully be back later.... Okay, here's my first crack at it, I think I might have found something, but remember that I don't quite fully understand Time Dilation. There seem to be two types of Time Dilation: Gravitational and Velocity. So I got to thinking what could cause these two different things to have similar results (The slowing down/ speeding up of movement) and why would a ship still be moving fast if it's occupants were moving more slowly. That's when I came up with the only thing these two seem to have in common: pressure. Gravitational Time Dilation makes things closer to the ground (more pressure) move slower than those higher up (less pressure). Now when you take a space ship and put it in well, space, there isn't much pressure on it or it's occupants. When you start to move the craft the spaceship itself might have no or at least very little pressure with nothing in it's way, but the passengers themselves will be feeling quite a bit of pressure as they are not moving through their own means. Sort of like a rollar coaster when you are pushed up against your seat. Now you can start poking holes.

"And the aging thing just violates common sense. How could you breath in vacuum in the first place? Our organism is highly depended from the medium around us, and removing the medium roughly means removing us too!" I'm not saying that it's practical or even possible (which it's not), I'm simply saying that without movement nothing would age (or I suppose live). You could replace the word body with anything from a rock to a cow and it would still have the same point. Thanks for the 4th dimension thing, i've always thought of it as simply a point of view, the first not being able to see the second, second not being able to see the third, and so on, but your explanation clears things up. "But someone moving very fast ages at a slow rate, relative to a stationary observer." Okay, I'm stumped. I've asked around and no one seems to know what this Law seems to be called. Most think it's just a bunch of Sci-Fi. Searching around on Google hasn't given me anything. Tell me what it's called, or a website to read about it and I'll hopefully find some way to counter you, but without raeding into it a bit there is little I can do to defend my Theory. Now... Time Travel. An interesting topic explained as a trip to an Alternate Universe, or sometimes a symbolic fork in the river. Forget about that. Let's start with going back in time shall we? Since I've already stated that movement is time, it would only make sense to assume that turning back time is the same as turning back movement. In order to go back in time, you would have to undo movement. Something I don't believe can be done to specific things. So let's say you have a pretty time machine that you can tun on at the press of a button. You press the button and you go right back to....... when you pressed the button. Huh. There's the first problem: you can't go past the point when you actually pressed the button. And then ofcourse is that other problem where EVERYTHING in your body got rewound, you unpressed the button, your memory was rewound, every single sub atomic particle in your body and the rest of the universe gets turned back. That means you are in the same thought process as you were when you first pushed the button, and so you push the button again. Rinse and repeat. I'm sure I can hear the argument of "Why would you you make yourself go back too?" The answer: Think of a video tape. When you rewind it, you rewind the whole movie. Not individual characters. Yes I realise that life isn't a movie, but I can't think of a single thing that would be able to keep a force that is able to undo movemet from affecting the entire universe.

I mean there would literally be no movement, no brain activity, no solar winds, essentially no energy of any kind, because to have any energy would mean that something is moving. I'll also post my ideas on time travel (if it's possible and how it would work) later

I have heard countless times that time is some sort of 4th dimension or something that flows around us, and it really got me thinking about how that was possible. I found that it isn't and time is actually only a measurement. A measurement of movement. Think about it. You could take almost anything with a time measurement in it and replace it with movement. "I am 5 days old." A day is only (from our perspective) the movement of the sun when it make a circle around the earth, so you could also say something like this. "I am 5 rotations of the sun old." Also it is not time that ages us, but movement. If we were to be in a vaccum of sorts, with no motion whatsoever, you could not age. How could you? I look forward to posts that poke holes in this, I love a good argument.
