go back to working on radar systems h:

 

How'd you know I work on RADAR?

 

i guessed :dunno:

my mind hurts from this thread, way to early to open something like this up

 

you'll go back to 1965 and narrowly avoid dooming yourself

my brother's project is currently part the fastest man made object evAR

The pluto new horizons craft was shot up with an atlas rocket, and then they did a gravitational slingshot around Jupiter. I forget the numbers, but that fawker is hauling ass. h:

 

I'd love to know what happens as you near the speed of light - I don't think we could exceed it. I mean:

Say you are driving your car down the street at 30 m/s... your headlights are on - the light emitted will only travel at the speed of light, not the speed of light + 30 m/s. I read up on the theory of relativity, it was crazy, the faster we are traveling in an object, the slower time is actually moving in said object. So say you were in a space ship flying past the earth (at half the speed of light), if you had a set of binoculars powerful enough to look into the spaceship, everyone inside would look like they are moving in slow motion (at half speed), because the light has slowed down inside the craft so it cannot exceed the speed of light... weird eh?

 

dijuh read the ender's game series? Thats how Ender lived for 3000 years, by flying all over the place at relativistic speeds. o_O

 

Zuh?

 

So if you're traveling near the speed of light, time moves slower. If you go on a long trip at near-light speed and come back, you could've been gone for what appeared to be a week to you. But to everyone else on earth (moving at normal earth speed), you were gone for years. So you've aged one week over the course of a few years. Keep traveling all over the place at relativistic speeds, and you can prolong your life indefinitely. You'll still age at what seems like a normal pace to you, but to people sitting around on planets it will seem as though you hardly age at all.
