dumbest retard I've ever seen, or bait

>>10303632
shut the fuck up n*GGER

>>10303655
Impressive, did you quote that from your PhD?

>>10303663
yeah the phD up your ass commie fag

>recieves adhom back
cry moar satanist

>>10303678
>starts

*cough* >>10303655

Who gives a shit about what Earth sees? Point is, you made it to your destination in a mere 20 years.

>instant acceleration
>to the speed of light
yeah, no, the trip would be instant for you and the universe will have died of heat death by the time you arrive

>>10303685
But if I were to travel that distance to get something for the Earth and the back, I'd be 2000 years behind schedule.

>>10303752
This gives me a question: what is the optimum speed if you want to travel x lighty ears in as little time as possible from a stationary viewer's perspecitve?

>>10303693
>or bait
holy shit - you actually are dumb?
wew lad

>>10303625
Because you lived for the entire “2000 year” journey. You dont see the benefits of that?

>>10303625
>>due to relativity, the Earth perceives the time it took for this voyage as 2000 years

>>10303625
Just move the sun and the earth along with it to the solar system you want to explore, then you don't have to worry about time dilation killing everyone you know back home.

>>10303625
>accelerate to speed of light
>particles building your body turns into energy
Someone should warn you that only massless objects can travel at speed of light.

ok 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999%

>>10303842
Not really, since I did not perceive those 2000 years at all. I left everybody back at home and the world I may one day come back to will no longer be the world I left from.

if you went fast enough, the earth would perceive you as having reached your destination in a little more than twenty years
it would feel like much less to you
if my understanding is correct

>>10303911
Downplaying the importance of mass not being able to reach the speed of light is retarded

>>10303936
But a 2000 year journey is possible within a single lifetime. You must be trolling if you dont see how this could possibly be of use to a spacefaring civilization.

>>10304106
You're the kind of idiot that asks for the color of the car when you get a physics acceleration question.

ding ding ding ding
Congratulations, you are the only one here who isn't a drooling retard.

if you'd move at the speed of light relative to the rest of the universe you'd be instantly at your destination because of length contraction. from the point of reference of the rest of the universe you'd still need a year for every lightyear.
