Let’s say we have a spaceship capable of traveling at the speed of light, and a planet we can visit 50 light years away. From earth’s perspective if we can track the ship we would be able to see it was traveling at the speed of light and we would also see it has taken 50 years to complete the journey.
From the travellers perspective time will slow down, so let’s say to them the time only lasts 1Year. Doesn’t this mean that they would experience the journey as if they traveling 50 times the speed of light? If they have instruments on board showing speed what will these instrument show, speed of light or 50 times speed of light?
I’m not a student I’m old and love this stuff hence maybe some young whippersnapper can answer this question for me.
