I actually think they're quite blessed. The individuals may live and die in the "blink of an eye" to us.... haha. But, their species/society as a whole, has a SIGNIFICANT advantage in terms of their ability for technological advancement and other such development. They'll advance at a much faster rate.... even more so, due to the fact that they had Voyagers presence to influence their drive to develop technology. I mean, in a mere thousand years of their time(mere hours for us, i think, I'm not sure how long Voyager was stuck as the planets 3rd pole), they went from the tribal stage, to an extremely advanced species..... who had technology that could compensate for the time differential.... that's tech that even starfleet doesn't have. And they even had transporters. So.... they'd be even further after a month of our time..... unless they went extinct, of course. Love this stuff. One of the top 5 Voyager episodes in my opinion. *boyfriend of the account holder commenting.*

Just think of the implications. In a short time, that planet will become the most advanced civilization in the galaxy. The Borg will be nothing to them. They will be the new Q of the universe. Voyager's best hope of getting home is simply to stay there for a while longer and ask for their help. Leaving orbit is a stupid move.

@@omega311888 time relativity. Relative to outside observers, their planet spin so fast, people in the surface of that planet move so fast...while relative to the observer from that planet, the voyager ship and the stars above moves so slow. For us to understand, 1 second of rotation of that planet feels like 24 earth hours if you stay on the surface of that planet.

Hey.... GREAT question to bring up. Truly great to think about. The fact their planet spins so much faster than ours.... is irrelevant. Thinking they would see the cosmos moving faster.... is percieving them and their planet from OUR "normal" timeframe. The stars would look exactly the same. The objects in the cosmos that we can see, would actually appear to move MUCH SLOWER to them, than they do to us. Because the cosmos appears stationary to us, even within our "normal" timeframe. The important fact is that one of their days passes JUST the same to THEM, as one of OUR days passes, to US. Even if one of their days is roughly a second to us, in our timeframe. The core of their planet has created the "time differential" but that doesn't speed up the observable universe, from their perspective. Us thinking they would see the stars as blurs/streaks, is rooted in OUR perception of OUR timeframe, percieving THEIR planets timeframe. They'd see the exact same universe.... but moving at a SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER rate, over even LONGER periods of time. A fun thing to consider is what the speed of light would be to them. I can't figure out if it would be faster, slower, OR "the same." AND, does that mean.... to them, that the observable universe would be much BIGGER, or OLDER..... or.... faster?.....???? Lol..... I hope that makes sense. I'm not a physicist. I'm not good with math. But I hope I explained it decently, as a layman. And, if anyone DOES have an answer about what the speed of light and the size/age of the universe would be to them, I'd be extremely grateful to hear it. Becayse that's where my logic/intelligence comes to an end, as a layman. Haha. Cheers. *boyfriend of the account holder commenting.*

It would have helped us immeasurably especially as the Renaissance began to marry ancient philosophical trends to a new way to see the world IE Natural Philosophy - the birth of true science.

This is one of my Favorite if not the Favorite not only Voyager episode, but Star Trek Episode. So I guess only that Planet aged, but the rest of Universe did not age I assume. Otherwise, Thousands of Years would have passed for the Voyager Crew. I would be interested if there was a sequel to this Episode. Maybe on the Inhabitants look for their Ancestor sthe Doctor or just to contact the Humans on Voyager or just Humans themselves.

This is a very sad episode. Imagine discovering that your whole world is out of sync with the rest of the Universe. You can leave your planet to explore outer space but knowing that once you have returned even after a short time away from your perspective, centuries will have passed in your world. Everyone you knew will have died. It is might as well a one-way journey. We sentient beings not only have connections to our world, but also the people near us. Imagine traveling to a distant land, being in an unfamiliar place and interacting with unfamiliar people, and knowing that you can't ever come home again.
