This makes me curious. There have to be sci fi stories out there where instead of cryostasis, people are just moved really fast or put in high gravity environments to make time move slower for them
That sounds like a really cool idea for a movie or a book.
That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.
The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.
Oh true! I haven’t read Ender’s Game in years, and I only read the first book. Thanks for the reminder I should re-read.
But I’m also specifically curious about sci fi franchises where the slowdown of time is intentional as a way to preserve people, it sounds like a cool premise, and with the mountain of sci fi material I imagine it’s probably been done somewhere
