Can you make 1 minute last forever if you travel extremely fast?
if you could travel at the speed of light if it were physically possible from one end of town to another it would happen so fast you would not experience the trip. But if you could take things in and see things around you traveling at the speed of light you would see everything around you frozen like statues as you went through the town. What I want to know is can you make 1 minute last forever if you travel extremly fast way faster than the speed of light. I know it is completly impossible to travel at the speed of light or faster but this question wont work unless the laws of physics get broken. So if you can imagine a clock like big ben and a spaceship going around big ben in a circle and the spaceship constantly flew around big ben in a circle and just say this spaceship could break the laws of phsics and travel faster than light. Say it could travel at 1 trillion times the speed of light I know this is complety impossible but it has to work this way in order for this question to work. Now say for every second that pes on a stopwatch the spaceships speed increases to another trillion times the speed of light so say after 10 seconds the spaceships speed would be 10 trillion times the speed of light and after 30 second the spaceships speed would be 30 trillion times the speed of light and kept on accelerating like this and never stoped. I know this is way to fast but to make a minute last forever you need to travel this fast. So traveling at this speed its complety impossible for anyone to take things in and see things frozen traveling at this speed so say there was a super computer on this spaceship that had the ability to see and take things in it saw in normal time as it traveled at these amazing speeds. So for example as the super computer looked at the clock on big ben as the spaceship circled big ben while traveling at this high speed and the clock read 12:00AM the computer would determine that it would take so many amount of years for the clock to change to 12:01because of the spaceships constant accelerating speed because the super computer can take in and see things frozen like people and other objects frozen while traveling at these high speeds. So the computer is going to have to wait trillions and trillions of years to see the clock change from 12:00 to 12:01 but this space ship is constantly accelerating by 1 trillion times the speed of light every second so the computer from its perspective is never going to see the clock change to 12:01 because its speed is constantly accelerating and never stoping so the amount of time it takes for the clock to change from 12:00 to 12:01 is always growing in years so the computer will never see the clock change to 12:01 so is this how you can make a minute last forever. Thank you
