If you could walk across the surface of a neutron star you could cover light years of space in only 20 feet and it only took you 5 seconds to do it. Mean while in that time span on earth, earth aged 20,000 years.
agree or no?

If you disagree give a reason why.

Objects such as a nuetron star cover massive amounts of space in the 4th dimension because of its mass. The actual size of the object that you can I see is small.

Who says General Relativity is 100% right?

Seems people are getting distance of the 3rd dimension and distance in the 4th dimension mixed up. It is the distance in the 4th dimension that we can't see(but can feel) and is also the dimension that controls time.
The 3rd dimension is what we see, for example the distance from your house to the nearest store.

Time control is possible, time travel is pure fiction.

neutron star is only ever neutrons; sure it is heavy, sure it warped space, but it does not warp space to such an extent. Because of the slight curvature of space light from other celestial object will look weird. However, this does not affect u, since u still live on the plane of space time and u will be warped with space. U won't stay out from the space and time will most certainly not be affected. So no, walking on the neutron star will not have relativistic effect, u will not cover disproportional amount of space, time will go by normally, and nothing will really be different (aside from the tremendous gravity and the weird looking sky)

No.
For other reasons too, but the most obvious is that if you cover "light years of space" in seconds, you just messed with General Relativity and invented time travel.
Not that time travel might not be possible... but the surface of a neutron star isn't one of the solutions. A cyllinder of neutronium spinning on it's short axis is one of the possible solutions yielding time-like paths (Tipler machine).

You would need some really heat resistant booties to do so.
I believe your premise is a "little flawed". Neutron stars do not cover light years worth of space first of all...

No I do not agree.
I do not agree b/c your logic is flawed and it makes my head hurt.

Absolutely not.... what were you taking when you wrote that?
