modular Wrote:oh boy, relativity

there is no absolute frame. there is no stationary, only relative velocities. earth is moving quickly relative to the ship if you choose the ship as your frame of reference.

I can't really wrap my mind around any claim of lack of objectivity.
There's a distance d (d = 600 lightyears) and a velocity v heading towards it (v = 0.99*c). Accounting for metric expansion, there should be a finite amount of time within which the object travelling at velocity v will have covered the distance d, no?

Or maybe you're talking about something else like the planet moving towards the ship instead of vice-versa, sure it's classical relativity, but I don't see how it has anything to do with this.

So long as everyone involved is on the ship.
