Time traveling is just full of crap, innit?

[The Valkyrie]

Five light seconds.

Less than I expect from Iggy, to be honest...

[ignoramus]

Beccs, did you take into account the slowing down of time at warp 1?
For those on earth it'll be quite a bit longer?

I basically farted for an eternity!
Also, does time in heaven pass at the same rate?
Theists, what's the general consensus? What is their GMT offset?

I wish I could time travel and return when my kids are the same age as me now. "Who's an old fart now? Ha !"

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

How would that even work? Does the cell growth slow down or something when you travel at the speed of light?

Yes. Everything on the quantum level slows down. A photon which of course is traveling at the speed of light, doesn't even experience time passing at all.

Hear me out: 

Say it takes "x" 4 seconds to go from a to e. (a->b= 1 sec, b->c= 1 sec, c->d= 1 sec, d->e=1 sec : 4 seconds)
If we allocate only 2 seconds for x to go from a to b -> then (a->b=1/2 sec, b->c = 1/2 sec, c->d= 1/2 sec, d->e=1/2 sec : 2 seconds)

^^ That's what I'm saying. According to what I'm saying the end result would be same no matter how fast or slow you are. (You would age the same.)

Here's what you're saying: 

If we allocate only 2 seconds for x to go from a to b -> then (a->b=1 sec, b->c = 1 sec : 2 seconds). So x essentially "slows down"(according to you). My question is - how do you arrive at this conclusion and not the one I described above?

Let's say I roll a ball from point a to point b. It takes the ball 4 seconds for it to get from a to b.

Let's say I(go back in time and) roll the same ball from point a to point b. This time it takes the ball 2 seconds to get from a to b.

Is there any difference between the ball I have at b in the first scenario and the ball I have at b in the second scenario?

There is no time dilation at warp speed.

The difference is between the time passing during the trip as measured by yourself and the time measured from the vantage point of the ball. The two are not the same, the clock and all physical processes moving with the ball will be lagging slightly behind your own clock.

Presumably as 'heaven' is now considered to be beyond the Universe, if it exists it does so outside of any space-time reference, thus eternity would be as nothing.

There is no time dilation at warp speed.

The nerds have spoken!

Qapla!

Nuclear wessels.

As much as I enjoyed Chekov in the movies, Walter Koenig was great as Bester in B5
