Re: time
Well ... first of all, to know the answer to that question there is a prerequisite that you already know the answer to another question. Originally Posted by swoarg what speed does time travel at

It seems to vary with the coordinate system with which it is associated.

Re: time
First you need to define what you mean by speed in this context. The normal definition is that speed is the time rate of change of position, which is not what you mean in this case. Originally Posted by swoarg what speed does time travel at
RascalPuff's answer is the most correct in this post thus far: special relativity shows us that time is an observer dependent quantity. For example, a body moving at some speed (less than the speed of light) will measure a different amount of time has passed between two events than a stationary observer (stationary with respect to whatever frame we are taking to be a rest frame). See here for a nice introduction to relativity.~neutralino

Re: time
nice twist greybeard but i will try not to think about that one its confusing enough
and thanks for the link neutralino i am reading it along with Einstein relativity (special and the general theory) wich seems to be a good place to start

Re: time
Sure. Depending upon your background, there are various books available out there to learn special relativity (which is where I advise you to start). See this link for a short booklist; or feel free to ask if you have any specific requirements.

Re: time
I may be off base here but I thought space and other things moved, and that time was a measurement of that movement. Originally Posted by swoarg what speed does time travel at

Best to all,
