Relativity

Post by Toonces » Thu May 20, 2010 8:25 pm

IF you were to take a 25-year trip to a nearby Galaxy and back, at a speed say 75% the speed of light, 50 years would pass for you, but when you got back to Earth, 9 million years would've passed for the Earth and everyone on it. Now my math isn't perfect but because of time dilation and length shortening, at these speeds, these numbers are close to correct.

Question is when you got back home would you be like "damn, civilization is gone, what's up with these apes everywhere?" or would you be like "I AM THE MAN WHO LIVED NINE MILLION YEARS! BOW BEFORE ME!"

Fun part being, the higher your relative speed, the shorter the distance too :P. You can go to anywhere in our known galaxy within your lifespan, if only you had the technology/fuel to get to near lightspeed speeds.

I sure hope you would have brought some 'medicine' with you for that 25-year ride :shock: .The most important thing would be saving a seed for when you got back. I'm sure the apes would appreciate it, anyway.

Dude bow before me, for I am the 9 million year old starport player!

You Toonces? If you came back after 9 million years you'd be all "Dammit, I forgot to turn off the forums before I left and MadAce is still on there".

As a former physics major, idk whether to correct you on everything, or, as some one with a sense of humor, to answer your question.

Thanks, Toonces, for reminding me of some of the reasons I still bum around here. I'll be baked in a minute here, myself :)

Thanks for the vid, Major. Beautiful.

Second one, hands down. Then I would create an empire based on their fear of my immortality and the fact that these stupid apes have no useful weapons.

I would add this game to a game host company like ijji , nexon, or aeria games because they have million user base looking for new free games to try out, with Prepaid cards all over america and canada to buy in stores.

I couldn't help but notice toonce was /baked. Wouldn't It be awesome to just add more /commands. I think we would all love and enjoy the return of /fondle, with perhaps the additions of /tooncinate, /bowdown, /surprisebuttsecks, /pwnt, /passionatekisswithbuttgrab, and maybe even /stab57timesintheback, for everytime I log :lol:
