Are you saying that in the US we don't have to pay for ER visits? Because I recently got cut extremely badly (about 30 stitches in my hand) and my insurance did not cover it all. The total charge to my insurance company was about $4,000 so now I have to come up with about $2,000 to pay the...

Less than one year. But from observers it would still look like it took a little over one year.

Just wanted to clarify what I was trying to say, because I don't think I got the point across very well. It will not still feel like a year. It will feel like how much time passed in your reference frame. Time dilation actually alters the length of the second in comparison to a second outside of...

That's not exactly correct. The phenomenon is called time dilation. That means the faster you move, the longer your second is going to be. Time outside of how fast you are moving travels at the same speed. But you are right, if you are going 0.99c you will age slower, but it will feel like that...

Thanks so much for sharing! It has already been dealt with, though it didn't go exactly as planned... so I think it is story time! I went home for Easter weekend. I thought it would be perfect, I would be home so it would be no problem. Though the day I got home i went and ran some errands...

That is not necessarily correct. The current equation for time dilation doesn't take the mass into account at all. And for that specific equation traveling faster than the speed of light is mathematically impossible. Where mass comes in is in the relativistic mass equation. basically the faster...

Okay sure, that is true. But that is completely unrelated to the point I was trying to make. All taking about acceleration in modern physics is used for is the determine what the relativistic frame is and what the base frame is. The relativistic frame is the one who had to be "accelerated" to...

It had to be accelerated at some point. I guess when I say accelerating, jumlst means it had accelerated to be at the speed it is at.

That's what I have heard, and it makes me very excited! I am fan girling so hard. Who needs to do school work when I have FMA to watch?!

I just finished watching Kyoukai no Kanata and Fullmetal Alchemist. Now I am starting on FMA Brotherhood because I MUST HAVE MORE.

Hold strong! Don't give in to peer pressure! Only do it if you want to!

The fact that I have not motivation to do anything... even though I have SO much work to do.

Ugh, it is so much more difficult than it should be. I attend school away from my home town, so I don't get to see my parents often. But I don't really want to tell them over the phone. Bit I also don't really want to keep it from them until I see them again so I should tell them over the...

We can't really say that time isn't completely still for light. Because in our reference frame sure, it is still moving and time is passing normally, but we have no idea what is happening in lights reference frame. Time could be stopped for light.

Time dilation has been a proven relativistic dynamic. It is used to study atoms of elements that decay too rapidly to study normally. This means they speed them up fast enough that the time in their reference frame slows down. This allow it to live long enough in our frame to be studied. But...
