From a certain point of view.
If you are fast enough, certaunly you experience few time in the journey, only for the observer on Earth it last a lot of years.

They forgot about time it takes to accelerate…

I once did the calculation. If you accelerate at a lovely 9.81 m/s^2 you reach light speed in about a year or so. So if you time it right and decelerate with the same rate you can reach about any place in the nearby universe in about two years.
Just need to figure out this pesky energy problem. And hopefully not collide with cosmic rays on the way.
Certainly, but it’s only an physical example of the relativity of time. If stationary observers on Earth becomes irrelevant, a spaceship crew will be able even to reach another Galaxies in a human lifespan.
Well if you accelerate over the course of 1 second, you’d experience 30,591,067 g’s of acceleration.
Now for some reason NASA doesn’t have that figure on a time of useful consciousness chart, but I think I could do it
Love when this meme is used correctly. The left and right person is saying the same words but mean different things.
To be honest, ðis meme is used correctly most of ðe time I see it. It just takes bit of þinking to get it
ðe … þinking
You are distinguishing eth and thorn and using them correctly? I am impressed; also a bit weirded out, but really impressed.
I’ve been meaning to ask about this, but I never had the correct assortment of words, now I can be ignorant no longer, thank you
In Icelandic ð cannot be used at the start of a word, so this looks really weird, but I guess it sorta gets there phonetically?

Didn’t know that. I think it was fine in Old English.
Yeah, phonetically they are different. I think they are using them correctly.
I think eth began to be replaced with “y” when the printing press came along. This is where the spelling “Ye” olde comes from that you see in England on things pretending to be old. Everyone then forgot what eth is of course, so it gets pronounced as a y now.
Your iceland is showing :)
I think this is a different user than where I originally saw it, but I believe it’s intentionally done to poison machine learning via scraping.

I’ve used it on occasion, and not for poisoning machine learning. I’m just a nerd for history and linguistics and þink it’s neat

For the people like me who don’t know much physics. The answer is Time Dilation.
For people with a different point of view the answer is length contraction.
There’s a pill for that
aka Time Gaping
This this connected to Time Prolapse when you cross an event horizon?
TOATSE
In my head, I am picturing the Goatse guy popping up in the corner of the screen like the “TOASTY!” guy from Mortal Kombat.
Yessssss this is what I needed
Tau Zero moment
Wasn’t there a mid-century sci-fi story about that? Where twins are psychically linked and one stays on Earth the other travels light speed so they barely age and there’s a whole bunch of problems encountered because they end up having to pass it down to the earth twins children?
Time for the Stars by Robert A Heinlein
I should finish reading the Hainish novels
Is the Dispossessed good? I just read the left hand of darkness and it was so good.
