Reading DM's foray into physics (fizik's?) on a different thread got
me thinking. So puzzle this riddle for us, oh wizend one. If a person is aboard a craft moving near the speed of light, and that individuals 'local' time slows with respect to the linear motion of time back at good ole' earth, is his/her horoscope invalidated? What are the occult rules which govern the percentage of relevance retained by that individual. For example, if he/she leaves as a capricorn, will he or she return as a pisces? Since all of the planets are now moving in a different frame of reference from that individual, should astronauts of the future expect startling aspect changes as a result? For example, someone who is "truly generous and has a love for the finer things in life" might morph into someone who is "somewhat conservative but has a caring nature"? I guess this would screw up fortune cookie usage on such flights as well not to mention dice games (which we all know have predetermined outcomes...) chuck-o-lucks, wheels of fortune and even roulette? I suppose, if a ship were dispatched across the universe at relativistic speeds, it would go without saying that there would be need for an on-ship astrologer to cast horoscopes frequently to keep the crew aware of their ever-changing destiny's. Oh, one other question. Does an earthly natal chart apply to someone who has moved to Alpha Centauri? If the individual has a kid, would an earthly chart apply or a local one? Where will the 'hidden wisdom' come from when folks get to Alpha Centauri that will populate the many astrological tomes? How would you know when someone was "truly generous" as opposed to "somewhat generous" or "generous at times"? Heavy questions to ponder if one cared. O' |
