I get it! Gravity is why red lights take so long...
Well at least for some folks.
I have learned to reverse the time dilation by cultivating a feigned sense of boredom.
Works every time.
Try it, you’ll see.

“Try it, you’ll see.”

Okay, then how about this. If you are traveling at the speed of light squared, and you turn on the vessel lights, will you ever see them?

Only the interior lights, if you can see your headlights
it means you are standing in the road and if you see your
brake lights it means you are too close and need to slow
down or stop.

Simple really.

Except for reading the direction signs cause my eyes are bad.

George Lucas was a filmmaker, not a physicist.

That line can’t be reconciled with reality ... don’t burn up your brain trying.

“Simple really’

Might be. But if you are moving that much faster than the light can travel, can it ever catch up to you since you are long beyond it when it luminates with the turning on of the light switch and the time it takes the light to go on?

You’re right about the eyes. I just had three surgeries on my eyes, two on one of them and I’m lucky on a good day to see the shape or color of the signs.
