The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

...Trying to work out if there's a way you could orient a camera, the subject, and the observer such that they could see a picture of when you were older.
If you figure this out, Einstein appears and kicks you in the nuts.
You could just say "here's a picture of me when I was older", and then take the picture and show them. Technically older than you were when you said it
Take a twin, put it on a rocket and make the rocket orbit around the earth at the light of speed (with a convenient reason that explain how you did it and why the rocket didn't just disintegrated or other bad stuff) then make him get on earth again and boom! He will see his twin which is a older version of him rn
You don’t even need to go near the speed of light. Modern gps satellites already have to account for relativity. It wouldn’t be seeing yourself significantly older, but it’s a measurable distinction.
Just going to a weekend trip to the mountains can give you a few nanoseconds difference: http://www.leapsecond.com/great2005/tour/
Well yeah, but for a very noticeable difference you either gonna need a lot of time or a lot of speed
I'm going with a lot of speed. I love drugs!
Have the observer look at the subject through a system of mirrors so the light takes longer to reach them than the camera. The extra distance needs to be longer in light-seconds than it takes to create and show them the photo in seconds.
