No, times arrow will locally tick the same for you always. No matter how close you get to lights speed in a vacuum. You can't get to light speed being made of matter so what happens there is a moot thing for us mortals

But you can get infinitely close theoretically, and doing so you will find your wristwatch to be the same relative your heartbeats, as when back on Earth.  You will also find yourself growing old in the usual manner, to finally die.

What you say is true but it seems to me to me to rather miss the other side of the coin.

If you are in a spaceship travelling at 0.9999999999999999999 c for you traveling for 1 year in your time you would have traveled for an effectively infinite time in elapsed time.

At what point and in who's reference frame can you finally be considered to be dead?

If you had a cat in a box in a spaceship travelling at 0.9999999999999999999 c is it alive or dead? ;-)

If you had a cat in a box in a spaceship travelling at 0.9999999999999999999 c is it alive or dead? ;-)

In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Ahh Imatfaal, it seems as we have the same exquisite taste in good literature
My next cooperation will be named 'Towel inc'

Well Mike
You have a point, but from the local frame of reference your 'clock' have only one measure. And the only way you can confirm all other clocks are relative your local. The same goes for all experiments that you personally can confirm by doing them yourself.

So in that frame of reference 'the arrow' never change.

hey guys, any body here know why superconductors are not used to make perpetual motion.

look it up, the science is all there.

P.S. already patented the idea (suckers).

Sound sort of mental?
As in a mental exercise maybe

And congratulations on slipping through a 'perpetual motion machine' in the patent office.
I'm sure they will take a new look on it as they see your conclusion.
