What do you think about that idea that time nearly stops when traveling at the speed of light?
It is basically fact according to the Lorentz time dilation equation. Obviously in order to travel at light speed one must become light. I just don't see us getting there before we go extinct.

There's not much to say other than that it has been experimentally verified.
How, you ask? Take a bunch of atomic nuclei with a known half-life. Use a particle accelerator to speed them up to lightspeed minus a hair. See how long it takes for them to decay and get your new half-life at that speed. Compare and show Einstein was right.
