I used to think the Universe and everything in it was static. There's the known observable universe and we assumed somewhere off in the distant is an undulating perimeter where it all just ends. And the Stars, Planets and nebulas were all just suspended in this permanent suspended state, with movement only relative to other objects in flux. But now it seems, that the Universe and everything in it, is traveling through time and space 1.3 million miles per hour. Every hour 1.3 million miles of empty nothingness is opened up as the leading edge of the Universe comes ripping through, and every hour, 1.3 million miles of emptiness is added to the vast empty void that trails the Universe.
So what would happen if a star or planet were slowed down 1.3 million miles per hour, to 0?
It's like the fly in a traveling car, the fly is also moving at the speed of the car. That is why it can easily fly in all directions once in the car, and why it doesn't get pushed back to the back window as we move down the highway at 60 to 80 mph. Or what would happen if you were to go to the trailing edge of the Universe, then pushed through once you reached there. Would you be ejected and tumble like body hitting the pavement that stepped out of a moving car? Or would you simply keep moving in to the trailing void at the same speed?
If you were to start traveling 1.3 million miles per hour in the opposite direction the universe is traveling, would you effective come to a stand still, and start falling through the void, or would the tail end of the Universe eventually catch up. And what calamity would happen once you made it past that point?
That's assuming other objects behind you didn't slam into you, like a body falling out of a car onto a busy highway.
I don't think time would stop, as time and space would simply move on without you. Which is why I never believed in the Einstein Time travel theory. You could go the other direction at the speed of light, but that will just mean the rest of the universe moved on that much further away from you. It would still be 5 O'clock somewhere.
