Ok, so, there are a few things that I've forgot or misunderstood through years, so I've tried to google them. Although I've found official and unofficial explanations, I cannot figure out scientific ones, and I don't trust every random blogger or web page who thinks how they figured out everything. That's why I turn to old reliable worshipers of dead dragon's carcass, a fictional, digital entity, about 20 years old.
Da question?
The theory says that the faster object move through space, time will slow down (although the object won't notice that). So let'say I mount my pink magic pony that can gallop fast as speed of light, and put on a rolex to look like a dandy. So, if I start from Earth, and travel to fictional point B (let's just call it B) that is 10 light years away, stationary people will see me arrive there after 10 years, but for me, the time has stopped (or very nearly so), and I arrived almost instantly. This doesn't make any sense. It means that even if I go to... say... point C (500 million light years away), from my perspective, I would, again, arrive almost instantly.
I'm sure I'm missing something here.
