The concept of special relativity can be mind-bending and often leads to counterintuitive conclusions. A recent visualization highlights just how unintuitive this theory can be. If a spaceship were to continuously accelerate at a mere 1G (the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) for a certain duration, it could potentially reach the center of the Milky Way in under 20 years according to the time experienced by those on board the spaceship.
