[QUOTE="horgen123"]That would only be for someone observing the travel. The ones who travel won't have to wait 2 million years.horgen123

How long would it take?

If you actually travel at the speed of light I would guess less than a second for the one traveling.

Are we discussing the idea that as an object is propelled at high velocities time around it slows down? If so, I don't think it's that significant. It would still feel like a million years.

Water is wet.

That would depend on it's physical state...

The moment you touch ice moisture will accumulate on your skin and the same with steam. So it is still wet to the touch :P

That's because the warmth from your hand melts it, if you cooled your hand and the environment enough it would no longer happen

Water is denser than ice. Quite bizzare when you come to think about it.

Blind or visually impaired people hallucinate more then non visually impaired people, it's called Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). As many as 15% of blind or visually impaired people experience it.

2443 - the greatest number of times someone has been stung by bees without dying.

13 seconds is the longest recorded chicken flight.

Snails can't move backwards.

the probability of finding an electron in the center of a 2D infinite potential well in its second energy state is zero.....(as upposed to say a ball in a bucket which has the probabillity to be found anywhere in the bucket)
