Then apart from time travel another one that interests me is the theory that when travelling at the speed of light (or faster) time slows down. Or speeds up. Or something...

I remember reading that if there were a pair of twins the same age, and one of them went out to space in a rocket at the speed of light and came back years later, one would now be older than the other even though technically the same period of time had gone by for both of them.

Huh?? How can that be?! !

Time dilation, in which motion reduces the rate of time for an object. It is really noticeable only for high speeds.

But it's never been proven, because nobody can go that fast. It's only theoretical.

They have observed it to a very slight extent with atomic clocks and high speeds, but nowhere near enough to make the differences noticeable to most people (id est, the seconds or minutes scale).

Something.

Obviously 'Something'......

What, exactly?
Did he survive?
Is he in a veterinary clinic for Imaginary Pets?
Did the Hammer of Bloodthirsty Scandinavian Gods blast him into a parallel universe?

Information, please......

It was the presence of profanity.

Why did he use Thor's Hammer on himself instead of a deserving miscreant?

DearAlbirea, Apparently, but the really, really serious catastrophe is that kevinjh's Gryphon has apparently used The Hammer Of Götterdämmerung on himself in protest.
