Read up on time dilation and special relativity. Time absolutely does pass slower for you as you accelerate.
- IAmBroom 1y agoYou two are talking about different meanings of "time". Traveling 5,000 LY at 0.5 c will cause you the spaceship pilot to age 20,000 years. It's non-relativistic, inside that inertial frame. Clock second hands still sweep slow but noticeable circles. Meanwhile, everyone outside of the spaceship is happening FAST, by your observations. You'll see stars turn red and go supernova.
