Strange

“a passenger on an accelerating starship would experience time passing normally, but external observers would see the starship moving ever slower as its speed approached that of light.” nostr:note1wc2x7xen32h4kgfqc825sdnxdz53jfrnj8vvtc4kquypychkht3q6nnf92

Time doesn't really exist. 👀

It's certainly relative.

There is no universal now, which is why Satoshi invented a distributed clock.

Space time

Block time.

It's strange because it's absurd. Motion is caused by applying pressure and in "space" it is apparently a vacuum. Therefore you can't have motion.

Wrong, rather. It would appear red-shifted, length-compressed and time-dilated, but none of that means its apparent movement stops for the observer. It will continue to appear moving at an accelerating speed (without ever reaching the speed of light).

I'm just an amateur student, but I'm pretty confident that's how this whole General Relativity thing works.
