Hello,
I have a physics question that I am hoping the forum can answer. I have lots of them actually, but I would like to start with the one question and go from there. Ideally the answer to the question should be based upon current accepted physics theory.
The Question:
How do objects behave differently when cooled to near absolute zero versus when accelerated to near the speed of light?
Specifically, if you were to attempt to measure the age of an object that had been cooled to near absolute zero and left in that state for a significant amount of time and an object that had been traveling near the speed of light for a significant amount of time, what physical characteristics would/could you use to discern their age and how would it be different? For the purposes of the question, let's assume 100 years of near 0 and 100 years of travel at 99% the speed of light.
Thx.
