According to the movie "Interstellar", I age differently to those on my home planet...

Who are you?
We have no record of you.
You sure you exist in our plane?

Stop pretending that traders know what friends and loved ones are. All you know and love are cold hard credits.
Well imagine this. Some systems have no source of food. If you age differently than those on the planets and stations, does it take you the equivalent of 300 years or more, from their perspective to receive goods from other systems? I mean geez. Have you seen the witch space number. It says like 7000c. 7000 times the speed of light? Holy cow. By the time you get there...it might not exist.

Interstellar was cracking film, covered off space-time distortions caused by black-holes and relativity beautifully!
Think bigger... Think interest. Think long dead creditors. Hmmm come to think of it... avoid tax fraud investigators...

Oh...I owe your government 1 million credits? I think I will take a trip to the other side of the galaxy and back. I am sure your government won't exist when I get back.
Tell me something I don't know.
4 universal forces? Strong and weak nuclear force, electromagnetism and gravitational forces? Nonsense I tell you! Credits, that's what makes the galaxy go round.
Interstellar does not have realistic relativistic physics.
If you travel very fast relative to others time slows in your frame of reference, but their time also slows relative to yours. It is a paradox.
Unfortunately it is impossible to make a film plot that would work with correctly depicted relativity. They made an enjoyable movie out of nonsense.

Although i haven't seen that particular movie i can assure you relativistic physics is not a paradox. It's just weird and counter-intuitive sometimes.
It was certainly possible to make a book plot with exactly this idea, and it's a stone cold classic:

Sounds like a good book.
All near and over speed of light traveling happens trough folding space, not actually traveling trough it. In result general relativity really don't work in ED.
But yeah, in our real universe relativity mess up flow of time for those traveling at substantial speeds in space. Strange thing time.

Interstellar over-exaggerated everything. The time dilation factors were ridiculously inflated.
And no, in Elite, you wouldn't age slower, since you're not actually traveling at C (lightspeed), you're frameshifting space, thus your true velocity relative to your frame of reference is minimal. Wormholes are "different." The ones we create in Elite are present and temporary, so the temporal shift would be very minor, if at all.

What about SC? You clearly travel faster than C while in supercruise and those are not wormholes or temperal shifts. You can reach upwards of 2000C while in SC.

Well the lore is now broken. All those trade runs for coffee was for dead people!

You are correct but at 0.99999C 223 days have passed on Earth while a little over a half a day has past for me. At 0.9999999999999C 2,235,720 days have passed on Earth and only 6125 days have passed for me. What happens when you break the speed of light? Like in ED and you are traveling faster than light while in SC? People would start dieing very quickly from your perspective.
