>>7626222>what would prevent an observer from...the fact that the departure has already occurred.
witnessing the departure after the arrival doesn't mean that is ACTUALLY THE ORDER IN WHICH EVENTS OCURRED.
it simply means the light from arrival reached them before the light of departure.
holy fuck, people get so wrapped up in this shit.
say I leave point A at universe time 2015.11.11.23.4.25.78
and I arrive at point B at universe time
2015.11.11.23.4.25.79
also these are two points separated by 20,000ly
okay so it took literally one hundredth of a second to travel 20,000ly miraculously.
I have still physically arrived AFTER my departure, however before the light depicting my departure arrives from point A to point B, 20,000 years pass.
holy fuck time Trüffel guise!!!1#1!1!3
no. just. no.
time still traveled forwards.
I superceded the speed of light, however when my departure is whitnessed, it will be the snap departure and popping out of existence. that's all. I have already arrived, there was no light able to reflect off of my travel as it was unable to contact long enough to even refract, let alone reflect, so it would be apparent that I just stopped existing at point A.
the light from when I hit subliminal velocities at point B is able to interact, and so from point A and point B I would snap back into existence at point B.
forget the inertia involved obviously vaporizing everything I am.
