Kinda depends on how fast you're trading....I mean travelling, doesn't it? No matter how far out into space I go, it always feels like the here and now. <gggg> jw

OK .. way way way OT .. Re "picture yourself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade sky's" OK .. You leave in a ship .. boost up speed to C2 .. Ignore little things, for the moment like .. as you get closer time slows down until you get to C .. then it goes backwards .. for you, that is. So that, after you get past C your thrusters become back thrusters <g> if you spend the same amount of time >C as you do <C you stop at the same time you start <g> anyway .. ignore them for the moment .. You run at C2 for five years .. you get to your destination 2.5 years before light from your point of origin does. Therefor you could look into a real good telescope and catch your spouse doing whatever back then<g> Then you turn around and go back. Again at C*2. You have now bypassed five years worth of light .. It's still ten years later than when you left. Even though (perhaps) the clock in your ship shows the same time and date as when you left. A question would be "Will you remember any of the trip, since your neurons went backward also?"
