Relativity question

[gingerjedi]

<pedant>The effects of time dilation due to general relativity means that if you are moving fast, then your time frame slows down, so time around you progresses faster. So 7hrs in your time would mean more time has passed for everything else, not less.</pedant>

Which is what I said? I have seen planet of the apes you know.

<pendent too> Special Relativity

In General Relativity, all observers agree on who is affected by time dilation affects IIRC. And in Special Relativity it doesn't make much time to talk about agreeing on time or space separately (everything moves at c in space-time), although Proper Time is universal. That is, your watch, to you, always ticks at the same rate.

Run away from the office, the closer you get to light speed the more relative time will have passed when you get back.

My lunch, which I have been waiting bloody ages for.

Right now I have some perspective.

What is white and yellow and moves at 125mph? A train driver's egg sandwiches.

Given that God is infinite, the universe is also infinate, would you like a toasted teacake?

Relative to what?

My lunch, which I have been waiting bloody ages for.

Relativity question

I got in at nine thirty, I've been here for what seems like 7 hrs, and yet it's only quarter to eleven.

How fast am I moving?

Relative to what?

[doodab]

Do you have your own gravity field?

Everyone does, to some extent.

Do you find objects attach themselves to you?

I've always put that down to magnetism

[MarillionFan]

You might be on to something. I'm the only person in my office and I'm the only person I have ever worked with who has ever bought a KFC family bucket back to their desk. Although I did share some of the chips.

Fatty. Do you have your own gravity field? Do you find objects attach themselves to you?

[doodab]

Try looking around the office for a large porker gorging on a KFC family bucket and move further away. If you can't then you may be within her event horizon.

You may be experiencing some time dilation effects as you might be in the presence of a large mass.

Not fast enough to stop typing it seems. Speed up.
