I have sort of a question. Since time slows down for a space traveler does that not give them more time in life to visit deeper into space? In one discussion I saw on TV time slowed down for you the farther you got from a gravitional body. If this is true, whold not you almost have an infinite time to get to another galaxy?

If this is true,would not you almost have an infinite time to get to another galaxy after you leave the milkyway? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedI am new to this forum. I am 71 years young. I have a batchelor's degree from OBU, Oklahoma Baptist University. Not much but I did it after retiring from the Navy. I was older than nearly all my professors. My physics course was Cosmology. Of course I graduated in 1986. One of the people that landed on the moon graduated from this school and sent a moon rock which is on display. I was bitten by the bug and I don't want to be cured. lol Moderator Note: You should post your question in our Relativity section [link], where it will get more attention than in this introduction thread.
