    It still seems completely absurd to me. Oh well.

    I still don't see how if something is four light years away from our planet, and you travel at the speed of light from our planet to and from, how it's a decade and not 8 years. :|

    Actually, if you traveled at the speed of light, even for a "second", you would reach "infinity". You're basing your logic in Newton laws (the physics we all know and use) but they are not exactly accurate. They work in everyday situations, but if you try using them with near-light speeds they are useless. This is because Newton did his research thinking that time was invariant (that's the word?), but actually it's tied to space, in what it's called time-space (yes, that exists, it's not sci-fi). This means that time depends on speed.

    An example: Let's say you are traveling in a "plane" of some sort, at, let's say, 99% the speed of light, and you have a watch with you. For an outside observer, your watch would be ticking reeeally slowly, something like 1 second per 1 minute in his watch. But for you, your seconds are ticking fine, but everything in the outside is going reeeally fast (and not because you are going fast), maybe even a whole minute goes by when in your watch it was just a second.

    It's hard to understand because it's not how we think time would work. If you want, do some research on Einstein Relativity, I find it a really interesting topic
