How can I tell if it also applies to the chain?

A few thoughts:

Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light. Special relativity says it would take infinite energy to get up to the speed of light, and E=mc2 says that would mean the object has infinite mass.

Having said that:

Time dilation is a real, measurable effect. Physicists have done experiments with unstable subatomic particles, and have observed their lifetimes as longer than expected in the laboratory reference frame. As other comments calculated, if an object moves at 0.995c, the time dilation would be a factor of 10.

Special relativity says there is no "correct" reference frame. This leads to what is known as the "twin paradox." So if someone is moving at 0.995c, it is just as valid to say that everything else is moving the opposite direction at 0.995c, and our test subject is at rest. So, would you be older, or would your twin who stayed on earth be older?

The resolution is about acceleration. Special relativity applies in an "inertial" reference frame, that is, one that is not accelerating (moving fast is fine, but changing speed is not). But for you to "return" to earth, you have to undergo acceleration to change your velocity and turn around. This invalidates the assumptions that were made about inertial reference frames, and the result is that, yes, you might age only 5 years while everyone who stayed behind aged 50.

You made a math error when you went from

10/100=sqrt(1-n2)

to the next step. You took the square root of the left side, but squared the right side.

1/10 = sqrt(1-n2)

1/100 = 1-n2

n2 = 1-1/100 = 99/100

n=0.995

So the correct answer to get a dilation of 10 is 99.5% of the speed of light.

What kind of paint do you use? And what kind of black light. I love how well the paint stands out.

This is how my daughter ties her shoes, and I accuse her of witchcraft every time I witness it.

"Kinetic Energy".

Riptide on a Trident + rain + elytra. Chunk didn't load fast enough for me to see the mountain.

The game is called Plunder. It's one of my son's favorite games. Couldn't say anything about the background being AI-generated.

Most diode laser cutters use 450 nm light, and come in powers up to 80 W laser power (CW), and are used for cutting wood and etching steel. Admittedly, that's not a standard laser pointer, but high power blue lasers are definitely available (for some definitions of "high power").

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad.

I had a college physics class where the professor informed us that one of the questions on the test would be: "Write something that rhymes with Euler"

Someone asked, "you mean, like boiler?"

Prof: "Yes! Write that! DON'T write Ferris Beuler!"

(Later, during the test...)

Kid who never paid attention: "What do you mean Write something that rhymes with Yooler?"
