ological aging get sped up too?
I watch enough space/science YouTube to keep hearing about how time works differently when you’re traveling really fast in space or really far or something and each time I try to have to explained to me, it never connects. And I’ve watched a few popular YouTube videos explaining how it works but it still makes 0 sense to me.
I trust GBS goons will be able to help me out and explain why a person in a rocket going really fast apparently ages faster/slower compared to the people on earth. Also is it possible to have someone go fast enough that they age slow enough to time warp into the future and only be a month older and the world 100 years in the future?
Physics get real weird when things are really big or really small. I don't know the science to explain it to you nor does anyone on this site.

The thought experiment with the moving cart did the trick for me. All you really need is a little pythagoras to do the math.
One of the weird things about relativity is that as you go faster your mass also increases. So for a hypothetical engine with a fixed power output, it would have an upper speed limit that it wouldn't be able to exceed, simply because it would have to push on an ever increasing mass. I think it stems from the good ol' E=MC^2 formula.
in conclusion if Sonic ever goes too fast he'd collapse under his own mass and turn into a black hole
1amp = 1lb x 0.(C^2)
