If we sent a few colonies to live on mars, when the fact that Mars moves ~2x slower than earth is considered, what effect would that have on the "speed" of time on Mars compared to that on Earth?

Do you think that this disproportion of time would have to be considered before sending colonies from Earth to Mars, assuming that time dilation is still a well-established theory?

OP is actually asking a legitimate question. However, the difference in velocities between Earth and Mars is very minimal, and the effects of time dilation would not affect daily life.

What you should worry about is gravity on mars. Someone born and raised on mars would not be able to move around very well on earth because his bones and muscles would be too frail, if they feel down a flight of stairs they may break every bone in their body. Literally.

Drugs to compensate. Though as of now, better, safer drugs might be in order.

And this is why I say we should terraform venus. Because Venus is only slightly smaller than earth. A Venusian ((?) well the spellchecker doesn't seem to mind) would feel a little queasy and a pinch heavier on earth than on Venus.

A martian would collapse on the ground unable to move more than a crawl. That is, if their arms haven't been shattered into dust on the fall.

> terraform venus

And how do you suggest we go about doing that? The only reason terraforming Mars is even talked about is because the bulk of what we would need to do is supply an initial catalyst (CO2 producing lifeforms, or orbital mirrors) and the runaway greenhouse effect would take care of the rest.

We would have to advance our methods of planetary engineering quite a bit before Venus becomes a viable tarraform candidate.

How would one terraform Venus? Wouldn't you need mirrors and shit to put it on the 24 hour clock? And hoe would you get rid of all the greenhouse gases? And how would you make the now rockhard surface into dirt good for growing plants?

.... you'd need a 24-hour day? If we're not willing to adapt even that much, we're going to have a really hard time finding anywhere to live.

Fuck it. Either we use terraforming AND genetically reengineering ourselves to live on each planet, or we just become machines.

LOL holy shit man, that's not going to happen until we've at least got the Sun mostly covered with a Dyson swarm or some shit. Spinning up a planet is ludicrously expensive.

time is .000001% slower on mars. That would be a difference of minutes for a lifetime.

Mar's gravity wouldn't be an issue if you wore weighted clothing or spend time in a gravity chamber (like, say, a Gravitron ride)

Luckily, it's pretty easy to figure out the difference in Gs.

For a martian born and raised human to have comparable strength on earth, he'd need to lift 3 times his weight.
