speed of light. Amazing, isn't it? Imagine for example, a high speed train track that stretches in a straight line around the world and a high speed train that is capable of reaching the speed of light is moving at 99% the speed of light with passengers inside. Now imagine it moving at 99.999% the speed of light, and that a young girl inside the train stands up and runs forward through the wagon. Now, if she runs, wouldn't she break the laws of physics and run faster than the speed of light? The answer is no. The laws of physics will prevent her from running faster than the speed of light by slowing her down. Imagine trying to run fast, but instead you can't, every movement of which you make seems to take like forever. And that happens to all of the passengers inside that train. Time itself inside that train will go much slower than it's outside, thus having the passengers and the train travel through the fourth dimension of time, thus meaning, that they have dilated time. And although it would practically be impossible to make such a high speed train, what do you think of the idea itself?
