What happens if you put a time dilation device set to make time pass at a rate of 1 hour in the field for 1 second in the rest of the universe on a moving object, such as a shuttle or missile.
The time dilation device is now moving, meaning that the field should move with it. Correct?
Now if thats the case could you ever intercept a moving object that is traveling inside a self projected time dilation field in any way except getting directly in front of it? In 1 second the object moves 1 hours worth of distance without ever exceeding its regular speed (for example if a car had this Time Dilation device and drove at 60 miles per hour in its frame of reference for 1 hour of non dilated time then the car would be 216,000 from its original location, appearing to travel at 216,000 MPH to the rest of the universe, yet never going over 60 MPH in its own frame of reference).
This means that a time dilated missile with a 2:1 field (2 seconds pass for it for ever 1 that passes for the rest of the universe) would go twice as fast as it used to. At ten to one dilation we are talking about a Mach 10 missile traveling at Mach 100. At 3,600 to 1 (1 hour for 1 second) that missile moves at Mach 36,000.
Now you don't get the fun of relativistic missiles because the mass isn't actually going that fast in its own frame of reference but you do get missiles and ships that are nigh untouchable.
So to rephrase all of this, can you use time dilation to create frame dragging?
