Hmmm ?               It's the acceleration that makes the difference.       =A0=A0       =A0=A0Regardless of what happens in the next five years, at the end of       acceleration, the distance of nearly 40 years-light has decreased to       almost 5 years-light.       =A0=A0       =A0=A0If the space has contracted abruptly, time must have expanded       abruptly.       =A0=A0       =A0=A0But (I repeat) the sudden change is not due to uniform motion but       acceleration.              --       Luigi Fortunati              Credere e' piu' facile che pensare       Believing is easier than thinking              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
