Relativisitc effects in WC
Inspired by another thread, I started reading my Secrets of the WC universe, and there was a part about relativistic effects that kind of (IMHO) opinion explains how all the old pilots stayed around so long, like blair and maniac.
It's is based (quite soundly) on teh fact that the faster you move, the less time passes to you. So for pilots flying at spacefaring speeds they stay younger longer. So blair might have the physical aspects of a 32 yr old even though he's been a live for many more years. (I know it doesn't work out, but it's 4:30 AM)
So I wonder if these age slowing side effects affect only pilots (cause they're more susceptible to relativity in their fighters) or anyone onboard a space ship in WC. (like mechanics, captains, etc.)?
Anywhat happy 75th post me!
