Time announces plans to stop moving forward

No, wait, never mind.

 

[Cassie]

IF YOU TRAVEL FAST ENOUGH (SPEED OF LIGHT, FOR INSTANCE) TIME WILL STAND STILL.

 

[Cassie]

how fast till it starts going in reverse?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Can you actually perceive it moving slower though, when you're going at the speed of light? Does your brain function slow down too?

 

[Cassie]

Is it like swimming through molasses, I wonder.

I don't think so. Why would it? Fighter jet pilots' brains, for example, don't slow down at speeds greater than sound. Yes, there are some biophysiological changes concerning proprioception and other "funny feelings" regarding crazy allothetic frames of reference but those are mainly psychosomatic and not inherently physiologic. If we can shield the brain from the rapid changes in acceleration and the concomittant havoc in pressure, then travel at or near the speed of light should be safe. But don't listen to me. I just made this all up. LOLOLOLOLOLOl!!!!111

 

[CaptainWacky]

So there's no point in flying at the speed of light really then.

 

[The Tomtrek]

But they do it in "Star Trek"!

 

[Cassie]

FOR REAL!!

 

[The Tomtrek]

It's called 'warp speed' because it goes WWAAARRRRRRRPPP!

 

[Grammour Boy]

The diluthium chamber will melt down.
