Yep its true. In real I'm a medieval king but thanks to my spaceship I'm currently a indie game developer.

Some effect on time? Time is relative for everyone. Time is not one thing, there is not one timeline or so. So yes it affects time in that a moving entity progresses slower in time than one who stands still in respect to the moving entity.
But we all move with the rotation of the earth, rotation around the sun, our sun through the galaxy, and the galaxy through the universe with unimaginable speeds. The funny and mindboiling thing is that everything is relative. Whichever way you move (faster than our current speed, or "slower" when you move the other way) you always end up moving slower through time compared to your starting point.

If I recall correctly the equation is: t1 = t0/(1-(v^2/c^))^.5 (simplified for frame) Traveling at c produces multiple singularities in the equations. Traveling at v << 0 (the only possible situation for an individual) then t1 = t0, i.e. no difference. Special Relativity

If you say that you move at a considerable fraction relative to earth, thus your clock moves slower, I (the one on earth) say that I am moving at a considerable fraction relative to you, thus my clock moves slower.
Anyone knows the solution? wink I guess I forgot one part, couldn't remember what it was at first, but the time dilation effect is applied to the observer undergoing an acceleration. If the traveller moves away, and then back, the traveller becomes older younger as it underwent all accellerations.

Is it true that if you move at the speed of light from earth in one direction for 12 hours and then come back to earth at the speed of light that you will have only aged 24 hours yet the earth is 1000 years older? Does anyone know how light speed travel would work? Its a serious question, I'm trying to imagine how theoretical light speed travel would work so I can check the reality of scifi books etc. Yes it is true..it is a serious answer All the clocks on board of the shuttles are few seconds slower than the ones on the earth What people often misunderstand is the following : From the point of view of the pilot just 24 hours have elapsed In other words you can travel in the future of the earth but you can not expect to live longer
