What I want to ask is that is it really that time moves slowly or it just seems to pass slowly?

When I see those ship containers stacked one on top of each other on a cargo ship, I wonder what would happen in a bad storm....there is now way they would fall off, stacked so high?

I know they are very very heavy, but i just dont see how they could not get knocked around.

Okay, you have two little spaceships, both start out at the same speed, 99.9 the speed of light. They look across at each other and see that they are traveling the same speed. Then, one of the ships accelerates to twice it's original speed.

If an observer sees the two spaceships fly past, what will he see? If I understand it correctly, neither ship can actually go faster than the speed of light, they would instead be warping time. So how does that affect an outside observer who can't see the time effect?

That is the reason why they could not explain the Aether as a medium. So if its not a wave, then it behaves differently in a medium.Why did they not think of that today?There is however some scientist that showed that its not a wave.

May be they think that pure energy is gravity and that gravity is electro magnetic because they think there is something in the earth that attracts like a magnet?whos right or wrong?

Scientists tend to state that the universe is expanding. Doesn't it make more sense, given that nothing exists outside the universe: that it is infinitely small and from that viewpoint it seems more logical that everything contained in it is imploding in on itself at the rate that scientists claim it is expanding?
The point that I'm trying to make (apparently poorly since I've had to ask it twice) is that if everything within the universe is shrinking, then everything would appear via observations, to be moving away from each other. If all the elementary particles are shrinking at the same rate the observations would be exactly the same wouldn't they? The observations (including doppler shift) would be exactly the same.

Assume that you have two stars of the same size revolving around a point inbetween them (so that they don't crash into each other). Is this possible?

If so, you can view the stars as stationary (in reference to each other), right?

If so, can you somehow have a planet that orbits in a figure eight like pattern around the two stars?

If mass increases as a particle approaches the speed of light, the mass of even an electron will tend towards infinity. There would come a point where the electron's increase in mass would create non-negligable gravitational effects. By this logic, a particle moving near the speed of light could become a black hole. Looking at it from the electron's perspective, the whole universe is moving past it at about the speed of light and it too would have such a mass increase that even the smallest of objects would become black holes. Obviously, this doesn't happen. There must be some crucial distinction between invariant mass and relativistic mass the prevents this ludicrous conclusion from actually happening. What is the distinction?
