Default Re: Newtonian Propulsion Mod!

Talking of which, and if you think I am in a way hijacking this thread please tell me, I never ever understood the whole can't go faster than light thing. And most of the things that "go" with it. Like that if you travel from A to B in the speed of light (large distance) then you will age as long as you traveled (1 year?) while everybody else far more. Why would that happen? Why does it actualy matter how fast you are travelling to the actual time. I see time as a constant that progresses at the same frequency and direction no matter what. I can undersant if you go to deep freezing lets say that your body will stop(or very very slow) metabolizing and you will in a way live longer, but saying the same thing about speed of light sounds silly to me, are you (them?) saying that travelling at the speed of light doesn't actualy make you travel at high speed but just puts you in a bubble where time passes by in slower rate? So, how do you collerate that with the actual time that is needed to travel to that distance with that speed? If you travel at the speed of light for 1 year, (lets say star A to star B) it takes you 1 year to go there. You have lived for a year inside the ship, why would everybofdy else lived for more than that? Hmm, purplexed.
