    Another theory is that once you reach the speed of light, time effectively stops.

    this is one of the main therorys that makes up the possibility of time travel.

    I would restate all of my previous posts to fit into the current situation... but I won't... maybe I will? (yes that is a question)
    @Racer-Delux
    We can't really observe it because we don't know what it is yet. you can't really predict something will happen, if you don't know what it is and it has never happened before (to out knowledge/ observations)
    Dark matter is the name of something scientists have absolutely no idea about... they only know that it is an unseen force... it might be on earth... it might not.

    from the documentaries I have seen, as you approach the speed of light, the time difference is exponential. and the time difference is like natures way to prevent matter/mass from going the speed of light. Time changes so that light is always going about 300000 Km/s relative to you.

    When I'm not on TPT, I am watching documentaries.

    We also must realise that time travel in the 3rd dimension is different to the 4th dimension. We can't comprehend the 4th dimension because we aren't there. (We can't even comprehend existing in the 2nd dimension.)

    is Miles, not Kilometers(km).

    light does travel at 300 000 km/s (299792.458 km/s)
    or 186 000 Miles per second

    (I had accidentally said km/h though)

    I only just watched that size comparison video, and I thought it was very interesting... at the pure size of things... but then I saw the end and laughed so much... lol

    It really is amazing how large our universe is... I don't think humans will ever be able to explore it, even if we live until the end of the universe.

    Its fun to think about our sun as a tiny speck in the sky compared to other stars, yet then I remember our sun is classified as a dwarf star.

    Yeah, I'm fascinated by the possibility of life living on red dwarf star planets and their moons. I'm also interested by non-carbon-based life and non-water-drinking life. If a planet was tidally locked to its star, and the moon was tidally locked to the planet.... half of the moon would be in eternal night, the other half would experience a day/night cycle.
