Time dilation is a lie.

So, I found my math...

Earth to Proxima Centauri = 4.22 Light Years away
Constant-Thrust Trajectory (maneuver)
4.22 Light Years = 5 years @ 0.95m/s^2 = 0.5C
= 10 years travel time

So the theory is that the ship accelerated up to 0.5C stayed there for 5 years, then started the deceleration process.

********************

t^1 = dilated time
t = stationary time
V = velocity
C = speed of light

********************

t^1=t√(1-V^2/C^2)
=10yr √(1-(0.42C^2)/C^2)
=10yr √(1-(0.1764))
=10yr √(0.8236)
=10yr * 0.9075
=9.075yr on the ship

Time dilation is a lie.

If I understand time dilation properly, it is how things are effected by time/speed.

Yes, light leaves the star 1 million years away, and travels for 1 million years to reach here. (it is already travelling at light speed)

When an object increases speed to near-light speed, things change relative to its origin. The outside world seems to slow down due to the change in speed.
The trip for the object takes 1 million years from the point of view of the origin, but it takes less time from the perspective of the object.

For a novel I started, where a colony ship was going to Proxima B, I figured out the math... The trip from the perspective of Earth was going to take 10 years. On the ship it would take right around 9.
(I'll see if I can still find my notes for that story)

Now all of that said... part of the FTL drives, depending on the theory, is that the warp field/hyperspace/etc. is that it allows traversing vast distances without relativity affecting those inside the bubble.

In need for a mathematical genius

You would have to speak to a lawyer about that...
I know here in Canada it is legal.

But you didn’t/won't have lost any hours.... assuming you work a full Mon-Fri week when you leave the company, on the old schedule you'll have only worked four days (Tue-Fri) in that pay period.

On this new schedule you will get the full 5 days.

Basically this change in pay period just dictates when you would have the short pay period. Now as opposed to your last pay.

No on your very last pay, assuming you work a full week, it would have been 800, because you would not have the one day from the second week.
Now, on the new pay schedule, your last pay will still be 1000.

Absolutely. I know it would suck for budgeting...

I think, if you were to compare the two different pay schedules, at the end of your time there, the last pay would have the 'lost' day, assuming you worked a full week.

Electric Stove Tips?

There isn't a whole lot of difference between them. Something that I have noticed is that typically gas stoves heat up faster, and cook hotter. So it can take a little longer on an electric range.

So, I did up a calendar representation for you. The $800 is correct because the pay period is simply shorter.

The spreadsheet shows four weeks, with the shortened pay period being the sage-coloured one. It has the days you work, and the theoretical pay you make.
The top colour in each week shows the pay period. The lower colours are the days you work in each pay period. Then what you are getting paid on each payday for the respective pay period.

You didn't lose any money, it is simply the shorter pay period. You were still paid for each day you worked.

Good day, I would to ask how to start working as transcriptionist here?

This site doesn't need a transcriptionist. What country are you looking for work in?

Me? Tattoos? 😱

I've been busy. Between working with the newspaper, my art business, cadets, and the Legion, in addition to writing more and looking for work, I don't have a lot of time on my hands. But it's good. (I think...) keep busy so the depression and ills don't sneak up on me.
I still try to find the time to pop in here once in a while though, even if I don't post.

so anyone still here?

I'm still here, lurking in the background. Sometimes it takes a while for me to find time to reply to things... but I'm still here. 😄
