This dude made a simulation of what it would look like from a spaceship accelerating towards the speed of light. Click in the upper half of the acceleration slider to move forward.

    Neat visuals but I don’t think this is in any way accurate… Tell me how I crossed all those lightyears in about 60 seconds while only traveling at around 95% the speed of light.

      Relativity? A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. A ship traveling at.95C would only take 4 months to travel 1 light year from the perspective of the crew. To outside observers it would take a over a year.
