Time Dilation and Human Lifespan
What percentage of the speed of light do you need to go for a single year flying in space to equate to a average lifespan of say seventy years here on Earth? Science question, some whimsical philosophical side also.
“When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.”

Re: Time Dilation and Human Lifespan
Using the Lorentz factor, the percentage of the speed of light needed should be around 99.99% to achieve a 1 in 70 time dilation.
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!
