Tau Zero by Poul Anderson
In this science fiction novel, a group of scientists and astronauts embark on a mission to explore distant galaxies. However, their ship encounters a catastrophic accident that causes it to accelerate uncontrollably, reaching speeds close to the speed of light. As they hurtle through space, the crew must grapple with the effects of time dilation, facing the prospect of spending centuries on board while only a few years pass on Earth. With limited resources and an uncertain future, they must confront their own mortality and find a way to survive in the vastness of space.
