Question:

Suppose that you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon your return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly one hundred years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel? Express your answer to five significant figures as a multiple of c—for example, 0.955 85c.
