Re: If you could build a spaceship
 

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 ass and go one hour into the future in one hour.

most people don't read, basically :)

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 ass beer runs.

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?

i think everyone is over thinking it ;)

Coast to Coast AM rocks. Whenever I'm driving home late at night super blazed, that ---- blows my mind :S

Re: If you could build a spaceship
 

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

Re: If you could build a spaceship
 

ive time traveled before, forward and backward.

all i had to do was fly from new york to japan and back again
