Well if your going to be trying to travel the speed of light your going to need a good turbo

The Japanese will figure out a way. And use Mexican labor to do it.

The faster you move, the faster the rest of the world ages around you. A person walking will age slower than a person sitting down. Not by much, but by some.

No, they both age at the same rate. They just seem to age at different rates from their relativistic perspectives.

So as often as I can, I should drive 100 mph to stay young? :P

oh god, physics on hmt.


If you could travel faster than the speed of light, the only "going back in time" you would do, assuming you were on a space ship, would be to see the planets orbit in reverse rotation.

You don't age slower.. Those around you age quicker.

I'm going to throw the biggest turbo I can on my car to kill all you ----------ers.

if you were to travel the speed of light your atoms would scatter across space and time

if we had a plane or some type of craft that could do the speed of light, time travel is possible.. but we dont and most likely never will at least in our lifetime.
and i think you can only go into the future, not back.. or maybe its the other way around? i had read something like that before.. that kinda stuff interests me. that and anything on coast to coast AM with George Noory pete knows whats up with that.
