The Moment to Last Forever!

Yes, I do suck in drawing I know :P

But I had this idea of time dilation in the theory of relativity.

t = t. / srt(1-(v/c)^2)

P.S: For the moment to last forever "v" should equal "c", I just made it a little closer to reality here :P .. lol

In this equation & with the speed of .99999c, 5 minutes would last 18.6 hours.
1 day would last 223.6 days.
"c" equals the speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s.

The bottom line, if you travel @ the speed of light, time stops!

"If you travel @ the speed of light, time stops!"

Your argument is valid, but in a relative manner. Meaning, if you travel at the speed of light, time stops only relatively to someone; an observer in some inertial frame. Since "t" is actually "delta-t": a time interval between two events measured by one observer with respect to another observer's clock!

My bottom line, if you travel at the speed of light, time stops with respect to your partner. But I could be wrong :) Your drawing is not so bad. Reminds me of xkcd.

Yes Nosayba, that's right, time doesn't stop exactly rather than relatively.

So when you reach the speed of light with your partner, no matter how much time you spend, it's nothing to a static observer. ;)
