How can time be relative??? So if you travel at the speed of light you basically go to the future? How can time be different from different perspectives?

I'm freaking out right now

you dont go into the future, your passage of time stays the same.
time slows down for the people you leave behind

>>16697123
No one's slowing down.
No one's speeding up.

I've just checked and yup, traveling at the speed of light relative to the Earth is "speeding up"

>>16697103 (OP)
It isn't. You were lied to.
Turns out the doppler effect applies to light. This raises some very obvious questions.

>>16697103 (OP)
don't forget it's always now for you, and that this is a limitation you'll never overcome

>>16697143
but if time is relative, doesn't that mean the past keeps existing in some form?

So you know, eh? But you're still lying...

Time is like an elastic conveyor belt the faster you go the more it stretches where the conveyor belt around you stays the same

>>16697103 (OP)
Nobody has gone anywhere near the speed of light so we don't really know what happens at "relativistic speeds"
It's all conjecture and if there's one thing we should have learned about theoretical physics it's that the universe is a prankster and likes to do things that were totally not predicted.

Light goes at the speed of light and we use it to calculate how far away something is, so you can't claim that it has 0 time.
