Reply to comment by Barcata in can anyone explain to me how time would work if your going the speed of light or increasingly getting there? by rooskie72

Definitely got me now lol. I guess I was just tossing examples of times more so then knowing.

So how do people achieve getting close to the spped of light? I know how an engine runs. Fuel, spark, and air. But does that go the same for rockets?

Last question for now lol, so from what I gather is person 1 (going the speed of light) and person 2 (sitting at home) P2 would have a longer time then P1 would technically have even though it's technically the same time plane?

We don't. The amount of energy required to accelerate a mass is proportional to gamma, as the relativistic mass increases.

This is a nonsensical statement.

Keep reading, and stay away from youtube. Einstein's book is readily available. I'll buy it for you if you DM me and you cannot afford it.
