Default Re: Mod Idea: Simulating surfaces -> Borg Technology -> Twinkie Physics -> Worldviews

V= D/T, mixed with relativity, eh?

Unfortunately, at relativistic speeds, time is distorted as well as space.

As you go faster and faster, time slows down for the other object. If faster than light speeds would make the time negative, then the ship would see the universe getting younger, and the universe would see the ship getting younger. Once the ship decelerates, the twin paradox effect should make the end result be that the ship would end up younger, and the rest of the universe be slightly older than when the whole thing started.
