How Far Could A Human Travel In A Constantly-Accelerating Rocket Ship?

ā€œImagine that we could constantly accelerate at the same rate as Earth’s gravitational pull, 9.8 m/s2, indefinitely. While you’d initially speed up, you’ll rapidly approach the speed of light. Owing to Einstein’s Special Relativity, time will dilate and lengths will contract. As you continue to accelerate, the distances and travel times to faraway destinations will plummet. At the halfway mark, simply reverse your thrust to accelerate in the opposite direction for the remaining journey. ā€œ

If you wanted to travel to a star that was 100 light-years away, you might think it would take you at least 100 years to get there. That might be true from the perspective of someone who remains on Earth, but for an astronaut who journeyed there at close to the speed of light, Einstein’s Special Relativity tells you that it would take far less than a century of travel. In fact, if you could accelerate at a constant rate, you could pretty much reach anywhere you wanted within 15 billion light-years of us within a human lifetime.

I even went and did the math for you here. Don’t be afraid to see how far a human could travel if we had the dream technology to get us there!

All three versions (chill, rock, orchestra) ***** Further than Before: Pathway to the Stars, Part 1 -- Audible ***** ā€œNature and humanity can be amazing, but likewise, it can be brutal. Brutality, as far too many know it, is unnecessary if we consider and implement one thing, innovation with purpose—a good purpose is brutality’s ideal replacement, and it comes minus unnecessary misery. It’s starting to become clear to me now what it is that we can do and how we can do it.ā€ - Eliza Williams to Yesha Alevtina (Further than Before: Pathway to the Stars, Part 1) ***** #books #sciencefictionbooks #SpaceOpera #scifi #ftbpathwaypublications #grahambessellieu #matthewjopdyke #politicalsciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BxGgatnAtas/?igshid=1r6xgyjrd88m6

Ask Ethan: When Were Dark Matter And Dark Energy Created?

ā€œToday [normal matter] is only 4.9% while Dark Matter and Dark Energy takes the rest. Where did they come from?ā€

The Universe, as we know it, got its start in earnest when the hot Big Bang began. Space was filled with all the particles and antiparticles of the Standard Model, up at tremendous energies, while the Universe then expanded, cooled, and gave rise to all we know. But when did dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the Universe we know today, come into the picture? Was the Universe born with these components of energy? Or were they created at a later time? We have some inklings that dark matter was likely created in the extremely early stages, but may not have been present from the Universe’s birth. On the other hand, all theoretical signs point to dark energy always existing, but observationally, we have about 4 billion years where we cannot measure its presence at all.

Where do dark matter and dark energy come from? It’s a great cosmic mystery, but we do know something about it. Find out where we are today!

Pathway to the Stars: Part 2, Eliza Williams Audiobook Released!

Narrator Allison Taylor (Instagram: @alliptaylor) and Author Matthew J Opdyke have collaborated again following their previous release of the contemporary science fiction audiobook, Pathway to the Stars: Part 1, Vesha Celeste, and it is now available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

In Pathway to the Stars: Part 2, Eliza Williams, Eliza and Yesha journey through their young lives together, sharing great ideas. ā€œIf we want to traverse the cosmos, we will need to be bringers of life, beauty inside and out, abundance, and have the ability to bridge understanding between multiple civilizations, so we can tackle even greater issues together.

"We need to understand how dark energy and dark matter work, find ways to slow down the expansion, or cause the Universe to breathe just enough to protect itself and all of life along with it. We need everyone willing."

Experience the early life of the scientific hero, Eliza Williams, and through her the beginning of a new era. Vesha Celeste continues her Virtual Universe training witnessing Eliza's life with experiential immersion, the added advantages of time-dilation, neural linking, tactile-reference, and more.

Engage yourself in the critical details, ups, and downs, leading to Eliza's transformation and the formation of her new organization. Eliza's first biopods for physiological and neurological optimizations will be among her primary vehicles driving advances and designs positively affecting human progress solar-system-wide. There is a lot for Vesha to learn, and through this, she will become phenomenal in intellect and abilities. Will Eliza be able to release everything right away? What measures will she take to protect humanity from her powerful tools if they were to get into the wrong hands?

Pathway to the Stars: Part 11, A New Day

"If we can love ourselves, we can then truly understand what it means to love others and be kind. There is potential that lies within you and everyone else. It is a potential that has always been meant to exist, to bring something greater to this reality of life."

~ Sky Taylor

This story is the eleventh of the Pathway to the Stars space opera series. Sky journeys with Erin Carter and Joanne Gallant, who are now Pathway's president and vice president. On their adventure, she shows them ways to heal the Earth as well as ourselves so we can promote a healthier form of longevity.

To Sky, there is much we can do to prevent future disasters, but sometimes solutions can involve something as simple as a nice walk. In this case, unfortunately, to help Joanne figure out a mystery weighing upon her.

Meanwhile, Eliza Williams and Yesha Alevtina work for the success of the Universal Party with efforts that will affect the United States, the World, and the mission to span the Cosmos!
