It would not. The universe would actually age slower. However, it would also be much shorter along the axis of motion, and the stars in front of you would be much further along in their evolution than the star behind you. So you would perceive any given star to be evolving more slowly, but you would keep encountering older and older stars as you travel.
- swayvil 6y agoA man goes on a 50 year voyage travelling at near lightspeed. When he returns all of his friends have aged 50 years. But he has only aged 1 year. So you see, his friends were aging 50x faster.
- user-the-name 6y agoIf a man goes on a 50 year voyage and returns, he will not have travelled in a straight line, like a planet zooming through space would. He would have to accelerate and change directions, which brings in the effects of general relativity which complicate things. So these two are not equivalent cases.
