If you teleported and instantly travelled 10 light years, would time on earth be the same or different?

Answer 1

I believe time is a constant.

Answer 2

Im no astreophysis but this is my thinking. Light-years is a distance and instant is an infinitesimally small duration of time. If you were 10 light years at an instant you would look at the earth and see things exactly as though it were 10 years ago. However, what you are seeing is not happening at that instant you are seeing it. Time moves at the same speed regardless of where you are at. It’s your perception that changed. Its the same thing with stars. The stars we see in the sky my every well be not existing right now. However we still see them because of the light. Time on the earth would be moving forward the same, but it looks ten years younger. To answer the question, time would be the same, but your perception of it would be 10-years old news.

Answer 3

No, the time on earth will not be the same but will be more than my watch. The phenomena is that if anything travels faster or at par with the speed of light the time starts moving slower.
Einstein gave a wonderfull imaginary example in this regard, he said " Take two twin brothers born at the same time & let say are totally same in every aspect.Send one of them into space in a rocket having speed of light.After let say 10 years (10 light years for rocket) when the brothers are brought togather then the age of the space brother will be less than the earth brother".
Although i don have a science background but got this information from discovery channel.More spacefic answers u can get frm some science students.

Answer 4

At the moment of instant teleportation the time would be the same, if you and a buddy had synchronized your watches, because it was instant. However, past that first instant, time would immediately become relative. If you and your earth bound buddy are traveling at the same speed in three dimensions then time would appear to be the same for both of you. Change this criteria and you change the speed of time relative to the observers. The faster one of the persons go through space, the slower they will go through time relative to the other observer and vice versa. For you and your buddy it should be noted that neither of you experiences anything, but you observe the effect in the other. He sees you aging slower, you see him aging faster, but to both of you, time itself seems unchanged. When you look at your watch, a second still seems like a second. If you could see his watch it would be going much faster. He would see just the opposite. His watch would be keeping normal time but yours would be going much slower. This is where the word relativity comes from.

Answer 5

The same. If you had a big Hubble telescope teleported with you, you'd be able to look at earth as it was 10 years ago from there.

Answer 6

Incorrect, all of the above. Time slows down as you approach the speed of light. Take it from a girl who knows something about astrophysics. The speed of light is 186,000 mps. As you approach it, time for you will slow down. If you left the earth traveling at the speed of light, (186,000 mps), and you travelled for only 2.2 solar hours, then you come straight back to earth- you would have only been gone for 4.4 earth hours- and the rest of us here on earth would have aged 8 years older. I love this subject, talk to me sometime, huh. Later, good luck!

Answer 7

hey bud this is the theory of relativity from einstein, they would be different relative to each other. if 20 year twins were separated, one on earth, the other the speed of light travelling away, the travelling twins biological clock would run slower in comparison to the twin on earth, so when they reunite, the one on earth might look 50 while the other twin might only look 35. cool, eh?

Answer 8

there exists today no evidence that man could approach, attain, or exceed the speed of light. however you have hypothesized instantaneous teleportation. does this not imply the passage of no time - it does to me. no time passed means no time passed. the distance then is negligible if we read the question as it is presented. i hope you have a round trip ticket - things just won't be the same without you.

Answer 9

The key word in your question is "instantly". This implies no acceleration. Time on earth would be the same.

Answer 10

It would be different because you would have just traveled 10 light years away, which would equate to roughly 60 trillion miles.
