Question: Tom leaves on 1st Jan 2024, travels at the speed of light, and returns to earth on 31st Dec 2024. How many earth years will he have aged?
Asked by padraig.regan@email.com
If Tom is traveling at the speed of light, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, time would effectively "slow down" for him relative to the time on Earth. This is known as time dilation. So, in theory, he may not age at all or age very minimally. However, this is entirely theoretical and based on principles of special relativity, and such a journey isn't currently possible with our understanding and technology.
