[QUOTE="TheMentaculus, post: 2760394, member: 920321"] Well, it depends on what you mean by time travel. I am travelling forward in time right now, but I age 50 years for every 50 years I travel. If I were travelling close to the speed of light, I could travel maybe 5 days into the future according to my own personal clock. But everything travelling much slower would have gone, say, 50 years into the future, and I would have actually have been travelling for 50 years by their clocks. But I would have only aged 5 days, because time for me would be slowed way down. So if I were to "travel forward" using relativistic effects, like the one I just described (time dilation), then yes, a piece of meat I took with me would only age a few days by its own clock, while going years forward in time by someone else's clock. However much the meat ages, you age as well. You are, after all, essentially a piece of meat :D [/QUOTE]
