Was thinking about interstellar travel and the ability to provide artificial gravity by using a smooth acceleration and deceleration across the journey, changing from acceleration to deceleration at the halfway mark....
What I remember from watching discovery years ago is simply that “time” will slow down so that it takes longer and longer for that object to reach the speed of light. This is the only kind of " time travel" that is theoretically possible.
Not really.
Take for example a star 1 light year from sun. If we start this theoretical machine, it WILL take 1 year for that machine to reach there. Same for 100 light years distance. That’s the amount of time it takes for light to travel that distance.
What happens when you apply a force to an object at close to the speed of light?
