The economic benefits:

>At 1997 prices, a relatively small metallic asteroid with a diameter of 1 mile contains more than $20 trillion US dollars worth of industrial and precious metals.

>As of May 2010, 7,075 near-Earth asteroids are known,[14] ranging in size up to ~32 kilometers (1036 Ganymed).[16] The number of near-Earth asteroids over one kilometer in diameter is estimated to be 500 - 1,000.

A ship traveling sufficiently near the speed of light could get to Andromeda in a matter of decades relative to the position of the traveler.

Obviously, millions upon millions of years would pass on earth.

Seems like a waste. Assuming you could travel near light speed to get at that vantage point you would spend thousands upon thousands of years to get there. Even if your travel experience was shorter due to time dilation everyone and everything you knew and loved would be gone. All for a slightly more detailed and accurate picture of the milky way.

Imagine a guy in an elevator.

Now imagine that elevator is actually moving around in another elevator, and the larger elevator moves at the speed of light.

As the guy descends in his elevator, the larger elevator is ascending at the speed of light.

As the first elevator hits the bottom of the larger elevator, the guy jumps.

And that's relativity.

Imagine a guy on a train.

Now imagine that train is actually moving at the speed of light.

As the guy walks along the train in the direction it is traveling, he is still only moving at the speed of light.

This just in: shadows can move faster than light!

Let's just make a vehicle out of shadow.

nothing can go faster than the speed of light.
So imagine you're moving away from something going at the speed of light. So his speed relative to you is c + your speed.

But nothing is faster than c, so time 'has' to slow down.

0/0 is actually pretty good

>Light spots and shadows
>If a laser is swept across a distant object, the spot of light can easily be made to move at a speed greater than c.[7] Similarly, a shadow projected onto a distant object can be made to move faster than c.[8] In neither case does any information travel faster than light.
