Maybe i read it wrong, but are you saying you only going one hour ahead for a hour worth of travel
I can sit on my *** and go one hour into the future in one hour.

Time to you would pass normally. However, when you slowed back down to zero, more time will have passed in the rest of the universe. A photon leaving the sun and hitting Earth takes like 8 minutes, but from the perspective of the photon, it seems to have just left as it becomes visible to us.

His OP said basicly you will go 2 hours for one hour worth of effort inside said spaceship.

Which is completely irrlevant cause everyone knows if they had a spaceship its only purpose would be pulling monsterous amounts of ----- and pulling off sweet *** beer runs.

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.
oh ---- yea. anyone ever listen to that ---- late night on am radio? "Coast to coast AM" with George Noory. Should give a listen, pretty interesting, factual ---- about all kinds of stuff like this. I listen sometimes when i go to bed

Back to the original post:

Doesn't the theory of relativity state that basically traveling toward an object a the speed of light time would appear to speed up x2. If you move away from an object, time would appear to go backwards at a 1:1 ratio. (one hour in the past for every hour traveled)
So if you are traveling 3/4 light speed away from an object wouldn't time appear to travel backwards at a 3/4 speed and fast forward 3/4 speed as you travel towards it?
So then what happens when you travel laterally? Angular velocity X distance traveled / Time?

Time never goes in reverse. It either speeds up towards infinity, or slows down to zero.
