The universe never ceases to amaze me

Ok, so it all started when I read about the "Twin Paradox" theory. It goes like this: So let's say you have two 20 year old twin brothers. One goes off on a spaceship and takes a "20 min" trip traveling at a speed close to the speed of light. After the "20 min" he comes back to earth where his brother waited for him to find that the brother didn't wait 20 minutes, he waited 20 years! BTW I made up those numbers off the top of my head, but you get the idea...

So what do I get from this? er well let's see, time went slower for the one who traveled at a speed near the speed of light....aka as energy increases rate of change of time decreases o.O...I'll leave it at that for now since I'm so sleepy...it's long, and it gets badass, stay tuned!
