silvercordsays...Great smile at the end. I love the fact about how much younger you would be after spending 100 years flying.
Constitutional_Patriotsays...I think this is why in the movie "Contact" that old man that "funded" Jody Foster's character in the movie was living on an airplane since he was "diagnosed" with some form of cancer.
BicycleRepairMansays...Cool, just a thought, since the earth/galaxy/solar system itself is constantly moving and rotatinc etc, arent we then already experiencing this "time delay" thing all the time? perhaps much more even than the difference shown here.. of course, noone lives they entire lives being static in space so it would still be irrelevant.
bamdrewsays...yep, its all relative, bikeman.
reminds me of planet of the apes, though i think they were frozen as well as traveling fast... 'you blew it up!' http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Last-90-Seconds-of-The-Planet-of-the-Apes--Classic-SciFi

1 billion nanoseconds in a second - that's a mighty short time.
antonyesays...Atomic Clock Flies First Class shocker.
Ivegotthebendssays...Incredible theories and the eventual experiments that prove those theories correct make me love science so much.
DigitalAlloysays...I guess that's how superman went back in time by flying around the world super fast.
t.geigersays...While I do not doubt the effect of time dilation, I have serious doubts about our capabilities to test and measure it. When you take a clock up into a plane and fly it around, a lot of environmental factors change besides speed over time, several of which could be responsible for an error of such a small magnitude.
jwraysays...these sorts of calculations are done every day to keep GPS satellites calibrated.
