According to Einstein (and he was famous for coming up with theories like this that no one could disprove) is if you travelled from earth to some other planet at the speed of light, even if it took 10 years, you would be no older.

This has confused the 'illogical set' no-end for years, but if you looked at it logically, it is bullshit. Time can be measured from the time you are born. If you all of a sudden jump on a spacecraft, travel to another planet that took 2 years, you are still older in relationship to when you were born.

Einstein also worked on the nuclear bomb that was dropped on Japan. He was only a bit player in the team. I remember reading about Einstein being asked if it was feasible in approx. 1938. He said it was impossible and couldn't happen. He was sadly lacking in this regard. I'm from german heritage, but have no time for his theories.

Actually it's not exactly the speed of light... it's more that the fastest you travel, the slower time goes. They tried to mesure it with nuclear clocks on TGV (fast speed trains) and it seem that his theory was right...
