If i take a light years fast space ship,would i still find the starts or planet at the same place ?

Question

1) would the galaxy clashing will play in fast foward as oppose to slow movements as we are seeing now ?

2) if the star is dying as we are seeing it now then what would i get to see if i can travel on a ship that can travel at light years speed,,would the sun die faster ?

3) If yes to both does that mean if i travel around in space at lightyear speed then would i be still young by the time i come back home and see my gf is 80 years old ?

Answer 1

Wow, congratulations. you officially have the most incomprehensible question of the day.

Answer 2

If the star or planet is stationary then it will be in the same place, the LIGHT from the star/planet will travel at the same speed as you, if you were moving away from the star/planet (in the same direction as the light) then it would LOOK the same, but grow dim, it wouldn't look smaller like when we move away from an object. If the star or planet is moving then it would still LOOK the same IF you were travelling away from it, but get dimmer. You look at the light reflected or emitted from the planet or star.

1. The celestial bodies we see now are moving in different directions, as are we. What you will see if you travelled the speed of light would be different depending on what you look at and in which direction you are travelling. The best way to imagine it is if you were travelling on a road, distant object appear to be slower than closer objects and it will change on which direction you faced.

2. No. The death of a star does not depend on the speed of light it depends on the materials of the star, whether there is enough fuel or not.

3. If you left the earth for 80 years and then came back, regardless of how fast you are travelling, you will be 80 + your current age and so will your girlfriend.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Hello,

(ANS) First of all you have to appreciate what a light year actually means, a light year is the time taken by photons of light to travel a fixed distance. Assuming the photons are traveling at light speed (i.e. 186,000 miles per second).

**The distance light traveled at 186,000 per second in one year through the vacuum of space. ( a very very very long way in miles or kilometers).

**The human race hasn't as yet even been able to travel one light year in space & return a human being safely. When that happens that will be a staggeringly BIG achievement, on a par with splitting the atom or putting a man on the moon. It will be the next big step forwards for man kind in space travel.

No.1 Your current view of the stars, the moon , the position of the sun, and so forth is determined by your fixed position on the earth. Hence your view of the sky is always looking outwards from the earth and it is this that makes the sky and objects look like they appear in more or less the same positions in the sky.

(although the sky appears different in the Northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere, i.e. the pole star or the plough in the north and the southern cross below the equator).

No.2 No! if you were able to travel away from the planet earth in a space ship then your position would inevitably be changed and the sun would appear in a different & more distant position (assuming your traveling away from the sun), as a smaller much dimmer object. If you were further away from the sun then the suns light just takes longer to reach your new position. The sun itself isn't dying any faster at all, the sun is still burning nuclear fuel at the same rate as it was before, no change.

No.3 No! if you travel at light speed as far as we know (according to science) you would age at the same rate as you age now. You would just grow older at the normal rate. Thus if you left earth at 20 years old and traveled one light year I think you would come back at 22years old (i.e. x1 year outwards & x1 year returning). No! your GF would only be x2 years older than when you left.

Kind Regards Ivan

Answer 4

No, all celestial objects are moving in time, you will perceive the event as happening faster but in actuality it is still happening at the same rate and time.

No, traveling towards it at any speed will allow you to see the light from the event earlier but it's still dying at the same rate. So you will perceive the death before anyone else but it is still happening at the same time.

Yes, even though the other answers are no. It has been theorized that by traveling at or near the speed of light that the passage of time observed by the occupants will be slower than those not in the vehicle. While time will pass for both persons it will pass slower for the vehicles occupants.

Answer 5

Well, the STARTS would be moving, so NON.
The PLANET would be moving, but at a much slower pace and closer, unless you're talking about EXOPLANET, in which case then everything different. so, NON and YAES.

Then (1) all galaxy clashing would become invisible because its frequency would be coming at you so fast that it would be visible only in higher frequencies above ultraviolet, so NON.

And (2) Sun will not die faster or slower just because you jetting around in space like some chicken with cut-off head, so NON.

And (3) since (1) and (2) are NON, then (3) is not applicable for answering, since you took off and speed around in space, you girl-fren show you thing or two and get nasty with somebody who cares, you space cowboy, you.

Answer 6

Main question - No
1) No - but you would possibly perceive it as being slower considering the huge speed you would be travelling
2) Perceptively yes - in reality no
3) Yes - time within the craft would slow down considerably, possibly even stop, it has been proved scientifically with high speed aircraft and atomic clocks

It's all opinion obviously, I ain't Stephen Hawking or owt (orrrr ammmm iiiiii>?>>>>?????)

Answer 7

The human race has never traveled further than 1.45 light *seconds* and returned. The moon is that distance. The sun is slightly over 8 light minutes, in contrast.

Answer 8

not likely there be a planet that substantial. Get extreme. not adequate factors interior the comparable section to make the form of planet, not to show a celebrity that must be much extra enormous. The gravity on my own would overwhelm each and every thing. one thousand gentle years is alot extra effective than a mild year.

Answer 9

You would not find your 'target' in its apparent location. You would have to compensate for its movement during the period of time that its light took to reach your vision, plus you would have to 'lead' (allow for future movement) it in your trajectory to reach it with your FTL ship.
According to Special Relativity, time would pass for you at a slower rate than it does on earth. In theory, you could age a year while 50 years pass on planet Earth.
