He then does FTL from O to A. Then he does a U-turn to go 1/3c the other       way.       By chainging his speed he changes his reference frame, so now he is in x' and       ct'              Then he does FTL back to O, and arrives before he left.              The Minkowski diagram is explained pretty good in the two videos I posted       above.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
