People claim "people were put at risk" but two things stand out.
- Since then has anyone died because of the leaks?
- What about the actual crime? Has anyone been procecuted ?
I think the answer to both is negative so its just that letter of law applies to the mighty. This time once again has proved it
What I remember from watching discovery years ago is simply that "time" will slow down so that it takes longer and longer for that object to reach the speed of light. This is the only kind of " time travel" that is theoretically possible.
Take for example a star 1 light year from sun. If we start this theoretical machine, it WILL take 1 year for that machine to reach there. Same for 100 light years distance. That's the amount of time it takes for light to travel that distance.
