JackGreenEarth@lemm.eeto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: Why does time slow down for something as it approaches the speed of light but then are suddenly fast when they are the speed of light or faster?English0·2 months agoThe light takes the same amount of time to get there from an external point of view. It’s more like time slows down for you the faster you go, which from an external perspective would look like you moving and acting slower than normal. So in the time it would take light to travel 1 light year, it always takes one year. However, you would be slowed down so much that it would appear to you that much less time had passed, maybe only a few days. If you travel at the speed of light you slow down so much that no time passes for you at all at that speed. So you instantly arrive, from your point of view. However, from the point of view of an external observer, it still took one year.
Essentially, it slows down the amount of time you experience, but the amount of time that actually passes externally doesn’t change. If you go to the moon, it will take only 1 second at light speed, so you wouldn’t really notice whether it felt instant or to take a second. However, if you go somewhere further like Proxima Centauri, which is 4 light years away, you will arrive back on Earth at least 8 years later (there and back). If you go at light speed, it would appear to be instant, suddenly you’re at Proxima Centauri 4 years later, suddenly you’re back at Earth 8 years later. If you go just below light speed, you’ll see the world outside go past like it’s being fast forwarded, and when you return, 8 years will have been compressed into something that seems much shorter to you.

Is the joke that it’s A1, a paper size twice as big as A2, rather than AI?
JackGreenEarth@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most effective at helping you sleep at night?English1·6 months agoFrom what I hear from others, I’m really lucky this way, but I tend to go to sleep when I’m tired. Also, my watch’s alarm clock wakes me up really nicely, trying to not interrupt a REM cycle, vibrating first then gradually playing rainforest sounds, so I usually feel rested in the morning.
Either of course. It just seems the former goes without saying and a large number of people support the latter.
Reminds me of the idea of positive discrimination. Personally, if I knew someone hired me above an equally qualified candidate just because I belong to a minority group I would feel insecure about my abilities.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What media has your favorite worldbuilding?English1·8 months agoHis Dark Materials is worldbuilt very well, I also like ATLA for its worldbuilding, even if it’s a bit simplistic at times.
JackGreenEarth@lemm.eeto Opensource@programming.dev•best alternative to windows file explorer?English0·10 months agoAre there any that integrate FTP support, such as Nautilus does on Linux?
It’s good at what it does, but what it does doesn’t seem very useful. If it added NFC payments, now that would be useful.
Many people just don’t have £2000 to spend on a laptop, no matter how much it could save them in the log run.
Aren’t they really expensive? Sure if you have the money, but what do you recommend as a budget option?
