So according to that physicist on Joe Rogan, distances shrink as you achieve certain speeds.

My question is will the distance keep shrinking and getting closer and closer the faster you go like half the distance to the goal line repeating forever... or can you go so fast that you enter into negative distance like you go so fast that you get there before you leave like out of phase with reality or whatever?

Currently accepted models say the closer you get to the speed of light, the smaller the distances become for you. According to the math of these models the distanced can get arbitrarily small but not 0.

Its more like with decent speed a distance is 6000km - for you - but with a sizable Fraction of the speed of light the distance is suddenly just 4000km - for you
>>
>>16810178
no it becomes exactly 0 because physicists today believe infinities exist
>>
>>16810334
No they use infinities as an abstraction to describe limiting behavior and you're too retarded to know the difference
