Slowing Time at the Speed of Light

Time is not absolute. Time slows down as an object moves at a high rate of speed. www.DoesGodExist.TV

time travel is not possible if you're talking about YOU walking around in the past because of paradoxs

but time viewing is kinda of possible

Every time you look at the night sky you are looking into the past because even the light from even the closest star (other than the sun) takes 4.2 years to reach us.

I'm not religious but what he was talking about is true. His allusion to the Bible was rather bogus though. The Bible gives us no scientific evidence for anything.

Time dilation has been tested and confirmed many times since the 1950s in particle accelerators, such as those at CERN.

I agree with you on that; This man is reciting theories that were popular in the mid to late 20th century. I had this argument with a physics professor in the mid 80s and he gave me the same line of crap. I asked, " so if you send me out and it takes me 10 years round trip at the speed of light, i'll be 1000 years old?" They believed that one would age 10 years traveling to the nearest star at the SOL while 1000s of years passed on earth. That makes no sense.

To go to the moon takes about 4 days at a certain speed; go faster and it will take 2 or 3 days. If you go slower it can take a week, a month or a year. What ever the time lapse that's how much older the astronaut is when returning to earth. Traveling at the speed of light is no different; it is just motion, extremely fast but motion never the less. The only thing that can effect you would be matter and gravity; with out protection you would die!

Time has no effect on matter; matter effects matter, light effects matter and gravity effects matter. Time is a way of measuring the movement of matter.

No, not radiocarbon. There are particles like a neutron, that live (before they decay into a proton and an electron) for 18 minutes at rest, but in the particle accelerators they last for hours and fit Einstein's equation. The particle accelerator wouldn't affect the measurement of time with C-14 because of the longer time involved. The space program has also tested time dilation in spacecraft sent out of the solar system.

cool thanks.. are the (time dilation) tests based on radiocarbon decay? (just curious)

[mattlambrecht]

has it been proven? when did we ever move something close enough to the speed of light in order for it to observably change times effect on the object?

[mattlambrecht]

this is stupid.. what equation is that.. and what context did it come from.. is it for measuring a duration.. shouldnt distance be a factor then? or is this equation specifically for "time dilation"? if so, then how is the equation derived if time dilation has never been observed? i think he needs a better explanation and evidence, especially to tie it into the vague notion of infinity conveyed in the scripture. this is not a good study of the concept..

my granda once told if you traveled at the speed of light you will be isolated from the original time........turns out he was right to stop time you need to be traveling at the speed of light
