And if no force has been applied to enhance your motion then the path you are following through 4D spacetime is a geodesic. And the amount of time it took you to travel through space from point A to point B, as determined by your wristwatch, will be longer than the proper time of anybody else, as determined by their wristwatch, who HAS had an external force applied to them and thus are not on a geodesic path through 4D spacetime.* * John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* ge, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
