	== Age and Special Relativity ==		== Age and Special Relativity ==
	That bit about special relativity in John-117's section on age is just plain scientifically ''wrong''. For one thing, Einstein's theory only applies the ~~the euclidean~~ styled universe we live in (i.e. three dimensions plus time); while [[slipspace]] as mentioned ''heavily'' in the books exists in some dimension(s) outside of the normal universe. Also once you go faster than the speed of light (as one does when a ship travels through slipspace) Special Relativity breaks down and ~~you get~~ imaginary numbers as responses for the relative changes in time with no known scientific explanation of how to explain what one would observe in these circumstances. As is, the only remaining logical argument for John's decreased aging is that most of his life would have been spent in a cryogenic deep sleep going from star system to star system. I thought I would point that out here before just deleting the erroneous comment. -[[User:Lord Hyren\|Lord Hyren]] 04:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)		That bit about special relativity in John-117's section on age is just plain scientifically ''wrong''.
