Hello everyone, long time lurker first time poster here.
I've been wondering for a while about this:
Let's suppose a newborn baby is placed in a spaceship capable of traveling at 0.95c. The baby travels from Earth to a (theoretical) planet 95 light-years away which is at rest relative to Earth in the same frame of reference.
Assuming the baby stayed alive all this time and travelled at constant 0.95c speed, what would come out of the space ship at the end of the journey?
According to my calculations the journey time interval inside the ship is approximately 31.22 (Earth) years. but since I've never had any sort of actual teaching in relativity I might be way wrong.
So could anybody help me find out what would actually come out of the ship? A grey-haired old man? a ≈31-year-old man? a teenager? a toddler?
Thank you in advance
