Example 2:
The spaceship in example 1 will travel 100,000,000km in 500 seconds
without time dilation but time dilation expands the 500 seconds to
670.82 seconds (500sec*gamma = 500sec*1.3416408 = 670.82sec). As we
now have 670.82secs instead of 500secs and to maintain the
relationship v=d/t, the speed of 200,000km/sec must be reduced to
149,071km/sec (100,000,000km/670.82sec = 149,071km/sec).
Oops.... you messed me up. ;-)
This isn't a "distance/half-life" concept.
At least not the way you present it.
An observer on the spaceship using his own watch and mile markers on
the highway, concludes he is moving _faster_, not slower, than an
observer on the highway says he is moving. This is because length
contraction between the mile markers more than compensates for time
dilation of his watch, so the ratio "d/t" you mention _increases_.
You, OTOH, have succeeded in coming up with something almost
meaningless. Which is difficult to achieve, so you can take some
pride in that. Your thought process is mind boggling.
