Since nobody reads these things, just look at the explanation in the actual simulation. And please POLITELY correct me if I'm wrong, okay. I'm only 12 years old.

unfourtunately. shit's heavy yo.. no lightspeed for you. :(

6,000 veiws!!! Thanks for your support, everyone!

jman31415: Yes! Exactly!

exactly.

Example: two people are the same age, and one gets in a spaceship that leaves earth at 90% speed of light, and travels for 10 years before returning. The person on earth ages 10 years normally, but the person in the spaceship only ages ~1 during the time. This time-dialation increases as you get closer to the speed of light, and if you theoretically reach it, time would stop. So that then leads to the assumption that going FASTER than c would make time go backwards. Boom. Time traveling STNE.
-
@Ferne Yeah, you said it pretty accurately. The STNE is "time-traveling" because it's VELOCITY becomes greater than the speed of the photon (c) *AS IT FALLS*. The method used to get it to that velocity doesn't matter; what does is that it goes faster than PHOT, or c. As an object approaches the speed of light, time relative to that object slows down.

better luck next time. :)

aww that's cute. :3 he mixed up g's and G.
-
It's not really that simple... gravity pulls objects because it's a field of curvature in space... But also in time. g is acceleration, acceleration of any object on earth's surface (roughly 9.81 m/s^2). Acceleration itself doesn't slow down time. Velocity does. And gravity isn't acceleration. Gravity causes acceleration.
-
the reason gravity slows down time is because acceleration slows down time, and gravity IS acceleration. "g"s are a measure of acceleration, for instance.
