Re: If you could build a spaceship
Yes but to the light leaving your monitor, the journey was just beginning when it ended at the back of your eyeballs.
If you noglets don't get the theoretical physics behind special relativity, why are you guys arguing about it?

Even though light travels extremely fast in our frame of reference, it travels from beginning to end instantaneously in its own frame of reference. While the time required for light to go from point A to point B can be tangibly measured in our frame of reference, the time it takes for it to complete its path seems to be exactly no time passed.
And the part about traveling into the future after reading my posts? Not funny, and extremely ignorant. And what's the definition of "------?"

Re: If you could build a spaceship
hmm so if i just modify my frame of reference i can travel faster, and therefor into the future.
just traveled another 10 seconds into the future while typing this. i'm amazing.
i guess people most faster on their way BACK on a trip, since its human nature to feel like time has passed more quickly on the way back.
maybe if we just modified out frame of reference, and always were on the way back we could travel to mars in a day

Re: If you could build a spaceship
If you travel faster than the speed of light away from an object, you will be looking at the light that left that object the same time you did. you will have an illusion of watching the world slowing down, and then moving backwards as you go faster than light and start passing light that left before you did.
If you are moving towards an object, you will see it move in high speed. As you are looking at something 9 million light years away, you are seeing ---- that happened 9 million years ago, as you speed towards it you will fast forward catching up to present day.
Just an illusion dumbasses. ---- still happens at the same time, you can just ---- with preception
