relative time travel

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The wormhole example is much simpler. The negative curvature makes a 
bridge between two portions of space-time, and time progresses 
identically as measured through the wormhole. Their subjective timelines 
remain connected one-for-one despite their relation to the objective, 
external universe's timeline.

So if the traveling terminus is accelerated such that it experiences a 
one year trip while observers see it gone for two years, today's 
traveling terminus is linked to the stationary terminus of a year ago, 
since it has also experienced a year  apart.
