Tesseract, aka hypercube. Each of it's faces is a cube (although you cannot portray that in a 2d projection of a 3d projection of a 4d object) |

--- Quote from: Inv3rted on August 09, 2009, 12:13:04 AM ---You don't really understand general and special relativity. Time will pass at a slower rate relative to you than the rest of the universe the faster you are moving. Traveling at the speed of light, the universal speed limit, would theoretically stop time relative to you. So, if you were moving extremely fast, not quite the speed of light, you might age an hour but have the universe age a year around you. Space and time are intimately connected. --- End quote --- I'm agreeing with this as we had to perform calculations on this in Physics class. We made the assumption that there was a set of twins living on Earth and one of them was selected to go to Alpha Centauri in a vehicle that was propelled close to the speed of light. The trip took an estimated 50 years for the round trip and had to determine how old the space faring twin would be relative to his earth bound brother. The space faring twin returned to Earth 50 years later to see that his twin now looked like his Grandfather While he remained as youthful as ever. Another example was actually done with two similar atomic clocks and an airplane that could travel past mach two. The clocks could keep track of time with a loss of one second every 10,000 years and record to an infinitesimal frame of time. The one in the plane, upon the end of the test was fractionally fast compared to the other clock. |
