Summary
| Description |
English: The graph shows the journey times for the twenty runs from the ship viewpoint. Notice that as speeds approach the speed of light, the journey times reduce dramatically, even though the actual increments in speed appear slight. On the 20th run, at 1048575/1048576 of the speed of light, the distance shrinks to 0.0059 light years and the ship and occupants experience a journey time of 2.15 days. Whereas to those on Earth the ship looks almost 'frozen' and the journey still takes 4.27 years, plus a couple of days. |
