Listen all, I had to be away for awhile. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the debates going on here. There are other forums where you would be lucky to get ONE intelligent response! Thanks again. I still have to attend other matters however you are the best!

OK, thanks.

Very good thanks a lot. It answers the question - what do you do with someone that wants to argue all day time dilation is not true.

Thanks for all the responses. I guess I am thinking more along the practical lines. At 10 mph I think it would take an enormous amount of fuel. But with the requirement for an enormous amount of fuel comes the requirement for even more energy. It seems to me there is some limit to how slowly you can achieve escape. How did you get 6.6 years?

I wasted too much time already. I don't seem to be able to post on the philosophy forum as a reply or start a new thread. Looked in the so called help but it was anything but helpful.

Best reference?

What would be your strongest argument that time dilation is true?

Does it have to be 25,000 mph? What if you traveled 10 miles per hour straight up and took a longer amount of time?
