  • @Velvet4U you're thinking in km/s

  • Good job to the creators of this video.=D

    This is proved already, made with particles at CERN.

    When i tried to explain this, people call me idiot and say I should be embarrassed for say that "time travel to future" is possible and has been done...

    Einstein was such a genius...

  • I still don't get it...

  • What I don't understand is given relativity, from the perspective of the travelling twin then the twin on the earth is moving away at near the speed of light. Given this logic both twins should expect to be younger.

  • @Velvet4U its 300,000 km/s and 300,000,000 m/s

  • this is awesome!

  • bravo!!!

  • This is soooo awesome, I know how long stop motion takes so, well done man.

  • The video is cute, but have you meant that time dilation only happens if you're moving at a constant speed and not accelerating?.. If so, then you're wrong. It happens with any speed - constant, or changing. During acceleration aswell.

  • the animation is awesome.. good job!

    though im not sure how many years pass exactly..you say 5..i know that if you 'observe' the planet Earth from the atmosphere one human life go within few minutes..which is WAY to FAST, then only 5 years :) You see people get born walk around and die..thats kinda scary.. i dont know if this is true either..who knows...
