So the question becomes where does the 11k come in? It was just wrong?

- petersumskas 7d agoCurrent me if I’m wrong but I think that was a calculation based on a specific velocity at some fraction of C. Whereas a constant 1g acceleration would far exceed that fraction and thus shorten the time significantly.
- jtbayly 6d ago> Of course that as you get closer to C, the traveling object will experience time dilation (relative to observer), so the time passed will be less. At 99.999% C, the traveler would take ~11,000 years to arrive to Andromeda. When you say constant 1g acceleration, do you mean acceleration well past the speed of light? I thought we were talking about all speeds less than the speed of light.
