I was just letting everyone know in case you were going to randomly decide to start the draft because you felt like starting it. When are you thinking the draft will begin?

Yeah, I'm not doing anything in either league until everyone is ready/knows when the draft is. Hopefully Guru has some free time soon to finish whatever he's working on, but I don't want to keep bugging him about it. It's only the middle of May. We've got time. abenjami 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it would be done in 48 hours and that was 19 days ago. abenjami, and NashvilleNinja 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To solve this, we’ll use special relativity, specifically time dilation. The time dilation formula is: t′=t1−v2c2t' = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}t′=1−c2v2t Where: ttt is your time (proper time) → 48 hours = 2 days t′t't′ is their time (dilated time) → 19 days vvv is your speed relative to them ccc is the speed of light Step 1: Rearrange for velocity tt′=1−v2c2\frac{t}{t'} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}t′t=1−c2v2 (tt′)2=1−v2c2\left(\frac{t}{t'}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}(t′t)2=1−c2v2 v2c2=1−(tt′)2\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 1 - \left(\frac{t}{t'}\right)^2c2v2=1−(t′t)2 vc=1−(tt′)2\frac{v}{c} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{t}{t'}\right)^2}cv=1−(t′t)2 Step 2: Plug in numbers t=2 days,t′=19 dayst = 2 \text{ days}, \quad t' = 19 \text{ days}t=2 days,t′=19 days vc=1−(219)2=1−4361=357361≈0.98892≈0.99444\frac{v}{c} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{2}{19}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{4}{361}} = \sqrt{\frac{357}{361}} \approx \sqrt{0.98892} \approx 0.99444cv=1−(192)2=1−3614=361357≈0.98892≈0.99444 So, you’d need to travel at 99.444% the speed of light relative to them. Step 3: Distance traveled in your frame You experience 48 hours (2 days). In your frame: Distance=v⋅t=0.99444c⋅2 days\text{Distance} = v \cdot t = 0.99444c \cdot 2 \text{ days}Distance=v⋅t=0.99444c⋅2 days Convert 2 days to seconds: 2×86400=172800 seconds2 \times 86400 = 172800 \text{ seconds}2×86400=172800 seconds Distance=0.99444⋅3×108⋅172800≈5.16×1013 meters\text{Distance} = 0.99444 \cdot 3 \times 10^8 \cdot 172800 \approx 5.16 \times 10^{13} \text{ meters}Distance=0.99444⋅3×108⋅172800≈5.16×1013 meters So, you'd travel approximately 51.6 trillion meters, or 51.6 billion kilometers, in your 48 hours. Summary: Speed: ~99.444% the speed of light Distance (your frame): ~51.6 billion kilometers Their experienced time: 19 days Your experienced time: 48 hours Let me know if you’d like the result in miles or light-years instead.
