According to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, time doesn’t tick quite the same when you’re zipping close to light speed. In fact, as you accelerate, time slows dramatically — a phenomenon known as time dilation.
That’s exactly the concept behind the gripping new sci-fi drama Faster Than Might Travel, where the cast explores what it means to live in a world where travelling five times faster than light doesn’t just shatter speed limits — it warps the very fabric of reality.
? “To your own experience, nothing feels unusual,” says lead actor Mira Chen, who plays Commander Sol. “But the universe around you… it’s crawling at a fifth of the pace. You’re aging slower, watching stars blink like slow pulses, while Earth spins away in fast-forward.”
Einstein famously showed that at speeds approaching the speed of light, time for the traveler stretches out — making minutes feel like hours to those left behind. And in this fictional universe, the speed of light isn’t a barrier, but a doorway into distorted time perception.
? Co-star Theo Nyland, who portrays pilot Jax Orion, adds, “We’re not just travelling fast — we’re witnessing a universe frozen in slow motion. And yet for our crew, life on board is completely normal. Meals, missions, mischief. But when they return to Earth, centuries may have passed.”
The series has sparked new conversations about the strange, poetic consequences of relativity — a reminder that science isn’t just equations, but a wellspring for imagination. As Einstein put it: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
Catch Faster Than Might Travel on Galactic Stream this week. Just don’t forget: the faster you go, the stranger things get.
