I think this is a really cool question! I would probably take the offer but I'd prefer to do it when I'm older if possible. Sorry I have to talk about some science stuff

Time dilation as predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity actually suggests that moving at extremely fast speeds slows your perception of time relative to others. So it'd be like 15 of your years is a week on Earth.

Also I don't think it's possible to travel across the entire universe in a week given that the nearest galaxy is 25,000 light years away and our current understanding of physics suggests that faster than light speed is Impossible. And the universe appears to be expanding too.

That depends will they answer all my questions in that week as well? Because a lot of the awe inspiring images you've see of the universe came from like rhe Hubble space telescope. And many images are composite images the human eye does not see in the full electromagnetic spectrum such as infrared light. Like for example large nebulae like the "Pillars of Creation" would look just like large clouds of dust and gas. But with a telescope that takes pictures in the infared spectrum we're able to make out hot and cold spots so it in essence allows us to see rhrough the clouds. Something you can't do with the human eye.

Ride home is hard and rough. Not for weakling. One needs lots of souls to survive the return. Unfortunately the mankind is mostly soulless, they like to exchange their souls for trinkets and shiny toys. Some sell it. They are nothing but empty shells walking around using up oxygen...

No, absolutely not! 15 years is way too much to lose, and there's probably not much to see up there anyway.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I am 66 years old now, so I'll pass.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

If I was younger I might. But at my age, 15 years means a decent chance that friends or family could die in that time. Even if they live, I don't know if I would want to miss those years with them.

Plus I'm not all that excited about the universe. I'm not someone who is really into astronomy or the cosmos. There is more than enough to explore in a lifetime here on Earth.

NathanDavis · Answer

if the offer comes from @medlife then yes, I would not trust another extraterrestrial being, and I would also hope this is warp drive technology transportation as well, so that week time is actually worth it because I would sure want to take off as far away as possible.

horribleguy17 · Answer

reject becoause in 16 years all my children will be 18 or olds. I have 4 children. The age difference would be
youngest- 3 to 18
second youngest- 8 to 23
middle child- 13 to 28
oldest- 16 to 31
Because of the oldest i would probably even have grandchildren in 15 years.

Outer space here I come, beam my ass up I’ll leave tomorrow! Where do I sign up?

bigcackdotcom · Answer

Not even joking when I say that a substance called DMT will take you there. You still may experience a time warp, I took quite a fucking bit and floated around in space for weeks until I was ready to come back to Earth realm.
