This follows on from my first article about harnessing time dilation. If you haven't read my first article then I highly recommend you do before reading this one. I've included a spreadsheet so you can do these…
This one is a bit of a heavy thought experiment I've been thinking about for some time now. I've used the Lorentz factor to work out the time dilation difference in seconds for certain speeds. I first started out asking…
