Science Discussion - Topic: Time Dilation

[blaman]

Astronauts orbiting the earth do in fact age slower then people down here. But the difference is minuscule because the speeds are nothing when compared to light.

First country to aquire anti-matter based weaponry will be the only country on the planet.

It might have been a different timespan. I don't know exactly how long, but his age was offset very slightly because of it.

The most that could've happened is his aging slowed imperceptibly.

Strange. I don't think time dilation works like that, though. Unless he was up there for so long going a certain speed. Time dilation also works with distance from a certain place, I believe.

To blow up every single country except your own with antimatter would throw the Earth off of it's natural orbit.

That's probably it.

In outer space time travels I think one tenth of a second faster, and if you were to orbit the earth with rockets on time would probably be 2 tenths faster. But I don't know.

That couldn't happen since one particle of antimatter can only destroy 1 matter equivalent since it's destroyed in the process too.

Chain reaction.

You cannot go faster than the speed of light. It is not possible. It would take an infinite amount of energy.

Reality is so cruel :'(

Well, space is a vacuum, but I never heard of air resistance against light.

Chain reaction.

And the energy released.

Since we're already on the topic of time travel and time dilation, etc, should I make the topic change daily or something?

forget it im changing it

[Wizzeh]

In space time does technically go a miniscule amount faster. But it's a really tiny amount because the earth's gravity is so small.

[blaman]

All it is is speed and gravity. The more speed and the more gravity, the slower the local time.

Time travel is possible.
Lets say the Earth orbits the sun at a speed of 30 mph. It takes 90 miles around the sun for a complete orbit, and a full year. Lets say your on Mars, and its full orbit is after 120 miles around the sun, in orbit. It goes at 20 mph. Now your friend is on Earth, and you were born in the same year. After three hours, its a new year on Earth, but on Mars, it has yet to go around the sun yet. You are a time traveler in the future.

An antimatter missile destroyed the Death Star.

That's not how speed based time travel works.
