LETS FLY WITH THE LIGHT
Einstein was right, gravity waves are insisting indeed. According to the phenomenon known as twin paradox if two people born in the same time will sit next to each other -time will elapse likewise. However,if one keeps sitting meanwhile the other person starts to move in the space the one who is sitting becomes older. In our everyday life we do not perceive this phenomenom it could only be recognised with the speed of light that is why with our programs, research and projects we try to travel with such a speed.
