Yeah man you did good, you didn't fall into my trap, you considered time dilation. tbh I knew you would! I didn't know the answer, I just knew it was less than 2 years. It would take 2 years to an observer in Earth, though it would take an extra year for me to tell them I got there, so 3 years after I leave, they get a message telling them I got there in 1 year 9 months lol. Time is fucking weird, I really don't understand it but it deeply interests me!

Something must cross the boundary, in order to be observed,
Thanks for your reply. This statement alone has released a can of worms in my strange mind. Gonna roll a spliff and take your post in!
