I found her lengthy explanation patronising and unhelpful.
"you change your direction of motion through spacetime, but not your speed of motion through spacetime."
This is article a long-winded way of restating the question, and leaves the reader thinking they know the answer when they simply have a different understanding of the same problem.
- tel 16y agoYeah, but a misunderstanding that's somewhat closer to the truth than before. Unless you want to explain Minkowskian spacetime, hyperbolic rotation, and its connection to Maxwell's equations... I think that coupling "motion through time" and "motion through space" like she explains is a good step forward from "cosmic speed limit".
- akozak 16y agoSome might call that science. It's worth thinking a bit about what a satisfying answer might be like for you. Maybe there just isn't a way to understand or think about the question that's satisfying.
