... (where we have imposed the boundary condition that the velocity vanish at τ = 0) and leads to the numerical results which most of you found. On each time interval, 83.76 years elapse for the stationary observer. The distance traveled on each interval is 82.79 light years. 4. Jackson 11.17 Solution: ...

Time dilation
In the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses.An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's own equally accurate clocks. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the fact that signals need time to propagate, but from the nature of spacetime itself.
