my threads for when I have more time to read the whole thread.
its not that time slows down but that the dimensions shift relative to a standing body (earth) including the dimension of time. If you were on earth as a spaceship traveling at relativistic speeds passed it would appear much shorter and time would be moving slower than on earth. On the ship however the dimensions are the same as always. You'll never actually feel the change in dimensions or slowing down of time, its only possible to observe theoretically or from an object passing by.
Accelerating at 1 G would take about 318 days to reach .9 C. at those kinds of speeds energy applied to acceleration actually starts turning into mass. This is because you can't go faster than the speed of light so energy turns into mass instead of accelerating the ship.
Realistically traveling any farther than light years away is hard to do because so much time on earth will go by. Wormholes would allow you to travel very far in very little time.
I'm an electrical engineer but love reading physics, astronomy, space travel and all kinds of crazy stuff.
