I think the 10 year exchange is a bit exaggerated. What would be the purpose of such a long visit? The scientists could collect more than enough information about ebens, the planet, flora/fauna, etc.. in 1 year.

We have also been told that time, for whatever reason, is measured (or perceived) differently on the planet Serpo.

Centrist, easy.
I was only going for easy as NextLevel suggested.
4) Regarding Time: The Team Members brought several time pieces, e.g., wrist watches, non-battery style, as it stated in the debriefing data. The time pieces worked, but they had no reference to time since the Eben days were longer, the dusk and dawn periods were longer and they had no calenders to reference. They did use the time pieces to calculate movement, for example, timing the movement of the Eben two suns. They also calculated the time between work and rest periods. But, after awhile, the team discarded their time pieces and used the Eben's measurement of time periods. The team became confused with the calenders they brought – a 10-year calender. After 24 months, the team lost track of time, as to the calender since they could not properly calculate days compared to Earth days.

Watch out, I took your name in vain in my latest ramblecast.
If only I got paid by the word.
Heck, if only I got paid.

Are we to assume that the team would be provided NO MEANS of tracking total-mission time? Consider that although we haven't launched anyone into space at this point (1965) but we're savvy time understanding-beings and certainly --- well, one wishes to assume -- that we'd understand the relativity of time and spacial references and all that jazz and at least brief the Serpo-nauts that they would have to track TOTAL MISSION TIME and not Earth-Sol time?

Light Year = 5.879 × 10^12 (5.879 Trillion miles)(9.461 petametres [trillion kilometers])
Serpo = 38.43 light years from Earth
Serpo = 225.93 Trillion miles from Earth
9months x 30days = 270 days
836.7 Billion miles per day
'Time Wave' Engine Speed = 34.8625 Billion miles per hour
(34,862,500,000 mph)
Anyone want to check my work?

Can anyone confirm this, or maybe post a link to it please, thank you.

WOW!!! That's some speed. Any traffic control here? Maybe some signposts or check posts manned by EBEs, billions of miles ahead to warn of planets/suns/gas giants/white dwarfs/neutron stars etc etc that may be in the way!! Avoiding them would mean billions of Gs! But probaby being powered by anti gravity devices its all hunky dory! So bash on, regardless!
Have a nice flight!!!!

Welcome! Its great to have another quality poster around here.
Reading your post was like reading my own thoughts almost, I compl(mostly)etely agree with it. Not to sound like too much of a nutthugger, but I think your post should be read by everyone here.
Quote worthy material
