T'=T*sqrt(1-(sqr(V) / sqr(C)))
Where:
sqrt is the square root function
sqr is the square function
T' is the relative time of the moving system
T is the pilot sytem's time
V is the speed of the moving sytem
C is the speed of light
I read this somewhere, and was wondering if it's true..
Sounds awkward when I hear "travel faster and five years will go by while only one year goes by in earth..". If my referential is the moving system: isn't the earth the one moving faster? What defines these things?
Additionally: is there a way that i can 'travel slower' and see myself age faster than the earth?
Of course this is mostly a theoretical question.
Thanks.
