If you travel at 100km/h for one hour, relative to the people at rest with respect to the earth, time is travelling at a rate of
0.999999999999995707368610904240662528758347525483 117272820667971903

So if you do travel for an hour, only
59 minutes and 59.99999999998454652699925526638510353005109173922 21821

Yep.

Physicist, really, but that's a mathematician at the core.

You have only stated the answers, where is your proof for this problem?

[OUTLAWS 9.99repeating^32]

It's Einstien's Theory of Relativity, time is relative to speed. The faster one travels, the slower time passes.

Another cool fact Chaotic42.

[EXEcution]

Well its good that you don't want to be an English teacher, because you spelled specifications wrong in ur sig :P

Here (http://www.drphysics.com/syllabus/time/time.html) is a webpage that should describe it well enough.

Remember that relativity is not a law, it doesn't cover very high speeds (like .9999c) or extremely small distances (close to the planck length).
