i was thinking about the idea of traveling light years.
say your physically on earth and you want to go to a place that is 500 light years away.
you know that the place is soo far away that the light from the star your looking took thousands and thousands or millions years until you could see it....and for all you know that place may not even exist anymore.
you decide to go there anyway and it takes just a few days to get there. you visit and come back to earth.
did you time travel?

im no astrophysicist, but if a star your looking at is 500 light years away, i dont think it will take you thousands or millions of years until you could see it, it would take you 500 years wouldnt it?
i think you could reach there and back well within 500 years, but i wouldnt classify it as time travel.

as an object travels at speed it begins to gain mass, the greater the speed the greater the mass of an object. time is relevant to mass, therefore as your mass increases due to speed, time will decrease relative to the craft in comparison to earth time. as the ship decreases speed it looses mass and therefore time increases until it reaches our norm at a near static position.

does this "equation" contain "gravity"? if so, what if u took it out of the equation?
like if a craft has an anti-gravity field around it, would that be kind of a loop hole to not gain mass?
to add to this; doesnt gravity effect light? so the light we would see is not in a straight line, but is bent, due to all the gravitational forces in space along the way. so think of the light of the star streaming at you all bent and wobbly. now, a craft with an anti-gravity field/drive wouldnt get the effects of gravity that the light does. this would allow it to travel(@ speed of light) in a straight line, making it a shorter distance and the time it takes you to travel should be shortened also.

thank you for all your replies..

i posted this question after reading and listening to various testimonies from people saying they visited other planets, solar systems and galaxies. some say they were gone for a couple of days or even months as [private message for name please] claims. i started wondering what is really happening when one is traveling long distances in space coming from our 3d point of view.
thanks again for your interesting replies...

im gonna take a stab and say that none of the testimonies u have seen/heard said that the methods of travel were nowhere near as crude & primitive as what we use/know about in the public today.

i think the problem is that we have been programmed so that when we think of space travel we think of current conventional means. i think the public has been dumbed down about gravity by tptb for a very important reason. not many people would want their rats out of their cage would they?

ps: can gravity travel faster than the speed of light?
