Time dilation always occurs, at ANY speed. The reason it was unknown for so
long is that it doesn't become noticeable to us at any speed where we have any
daily experience. But as soon as we had atomic clocks capable of measuring
insanely tiny time differences, and began using them to look for time dilation,
there it was, right in front of us, all over the place, in just the predicted amounts.
What else can I help you with?
How far is 9000 light years?
900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light. If you travel at any slower speed, it will take longer of course. But do some reading on time dilation - if the traveller travels at a speed very near the speed of light, from his point of view it will take much less time.900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light.

How can anyone know the effects of time dilation when you have no means of reaching any speed near the speed of light?
While we do not presently (with our large relative mass) have the energy to reach any speed near the speed of light, we can observe particles that are close to that speed. Time dilation has been verified using such techniques. Also, even at slow speeds, time dilation is observable, but the precision of the measurement is very tight. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
At what speed, compared to the time kept on Earth, is there a physical slowing of time when you travel at near-light speeds?
When traveling at near-light speeds, time slows down compared to time on Earth. This phenomenon is known as time dilation.
What page is the time dilation on in Ender's Game?
The concept of time dilation is not specifically mentioned in Ender's Game. However, the story does touch upon the effects of relativity due to traveling near the speed of light in some parts of the novel.
Why don't we experience time dilation in everyday life?
We do experience a form of time dilation in everyday life, but the effects are extremely small. Time dilation occurs due to differences in gravitational potential and velocities. In our daily lives, these differences are relatively insignificant compared to extreme situations, such as near a black hole or moving at speeds close to the speed of light, where the effects of time dilation become much more pronounced.
Was the cathode ray slower than the speed of light?
No, the cathode ray is faster than the speed of light.
Does convection or conduction travel at the speed of light?
No. The speeds of convection and conduction vary, but they are nowhere near the speed of light.
What is the speed of light near to the event horizon of a Black hole?
The speed of light is a constant, it does not matter in or out of a black hole.
If you leave Earth traveling at the speed of light in a circular pattern and your twin stays on Earth observing you when you eventually reach your twin who will be older?
According to the theory of relativity, time dilation occurs as an object's velocity approaches the speed of light. As a result, time will appear to pass slower for you as you travel near the speed of light compared to your twin who remains on Earth. Therefore, when you eventually reach your twin, they would be older than you.
You leave Earth in a space ship and return in a few weeks and you find 100 years Earth time has passed. How far in light years did you travel round trip and to what planet or star did you go?
You would have traveled approximately 25 light years away from Earth and back. This is because traveling at near light speed as you experienced time dilation. The specific destination you would have reached depends on the speed and direction of your spaceship.
Is an electric current a movement of electrons at near the speed of light?
No, electric current is the flow of electrons through a conductor, but the individual electrons do not move at near the speed of light. Instead, the speed of electron movement in a conductor is typically much slower.
Is a Lamborghini faster then a bugitti?
noway near ! buggati is speed of light!
