From a certain point of view.
If you are fast enough, certaunly you experience few time in the journey, only for the observer on Earth it last a lot of years.

They forgot about time it takes to accelerate…

Certainly, but it’s only an physical example of the relativity of time. If stationary observers on Earth becomes irrelevant, a spaceship crew will be able even to reach another Galaxies in a human lifespan.
Well if you accelerate over the course of 1 second, you’d experience 30,591,067 g’s of acceleration.
Now for some reason NASA doesn’t have that figure on a time of useful consciousness chart, but I think I could do it
Anybody can do it, it’s surviving it that’s the problem.
Well then you are lost.
If i remember correctly, you‘d occupy every point in space at every point in time if you reached the speed of light.
That’s the improbability drive in the HHGTTG
That’s just Warp 10. You might also devolve into a salamander thing and have weird babies with your CO.
Tau Zero moment
Wasn’t there a mid-century sci-fi story about that? Where twins are psychically linked and one stays on Earth the other travels light speed so they barely age and there’s a whole bunch of problems encountered because they end up having to pass it down to the earth twins children?
Time for the Stars by Robert A Heinlein
I should finish reading the Hainish novels
Is the Dispossessed good? I just read the left hand of darkness and it was so good.
If you love Left Hand, you’ll probably love The Dispossessed as well.
