Feasibility Analysis of Interstellar Travel from Earth to Kepler-22b Planet - Based on Time Dilation

Amidst the current challenges facing Earth, such as resource scarcity, unsustainable population growth, and climate change, this paper explores the potential for interplanetary travel, specifically assessing the feasibility of reducing travel time from Earth to another habitable planet, Kepler-22b. By adopting the Python programming language to validate the feasibility of interplanetary travel between Earth and Kepler-22b, the research demonstrates that applying the time dilation theory has the possibility to reduce travel time significantly. The findings suggest that the spacecraft would need to approach the speed of light, with acceleration reaching approximately 200 m/s, which is 20 times greater than that of Earths gravity. Consequently, the time used in the spaceship can be 40% of the time taken on the Earth.

Abstract

Amidst the current challenges facing Earth, such as resource scarcity, unsustainable population growth, and climate change, this paper explores the potential for interplanetary travel, specifically assessing the feasibility of reducing travel time from Earth to another habitable planet, Kepler-22b. By adopting the Python programming language to validate the feasibility of interplanetary travel between Earth and Kepler-22b, the research demonstrates that applying the time dilation theory has the possibility to reduce travel time significantly. The findings suggest that the spacecraft would need to approach the speed of light, with acceleration reaching approximately 200 m/s, which is 20 times greater than that of Earths gravity. Consequently, the time used in the spaceship can be 40% of the time taken on the Earth.
