- Purpose of use
- Would love to see 'real world' speeds with highly fractionalised results. Eg the tiny relativistic effects of travelling at 100kmh for 2 hours

- Purpose of use
- Just making sure my own calculations of time dilation are correct. Doing this just for fun.

- This is an attempt to reconcile the theory of time dilation with the time it takes light to travel 1AU. Assuming that time is equal to distance at C, the observed time it takes light to travel 1AU is approximately 8 minutes or 480 seconds. However, using the time dilation equation, if I were traveling at 99.999847227644% C the distance of 1AU, I would observe the passage of approximately 274,602 seconds or 3.24 days on on Earth. How does physics reconcile this discrepancy?
