[Intro]
Slow down
(And jump)
… into the future
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Wanna get a taste
(Of velocity based)
Faster through space
(Slower through time)
[Bridge]
I’m….
[Instrumental, Synth Solo, Percussion]
Slow down
(And jump)
… into the future
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Jump! (Ahead)
Jump up!
(Book read)
Jump!
(Come on and…)
Jump!
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
Wanna race against space
(Time without a trace)
Decades gone (they fly by)
No time to wonder (“Wonder why?”)
[Bridge]
Bye…. (Bye-bye)
[Instrumental, Synth Solo, Percussion]
Slow down
(And jump)
… into the future
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Jump! (Ahead)
Jump up!
(Book read)
Jump!
(Come on and…)
Jump!
ABOUT THE SONG
Primary Mechanisms of Future Time Travel
Physicists have identified two main ways to “jump” into the future by slowing down your own internal clock relative to the rest of the world:
* Velocity-Based Time Dilation (Special Relativity): The faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.
* The Effect: If you were to travel on a spaceship at near-light speeds (e.g., 99.9% the speed of light) for what felt like one year to you, several decades might have passed on Earth when you returned.
* Real-World Example: Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) travel at 17,500 mph. After six months, they have aged approximately 0.005 seconds less than people on Earth.
