Last week, we touched upon E=mc2, and how Einstein’s theory of relativity turned the world of physics upside-down. Now, we’re using that theory to show why the very concept of time may not be what you ...

Let’s talk time dilation. We recently all experienced how March 2020 felt like it lasted something like 20 years, and how August to Christmas went in a blink of an eye. That’s almost relativity for ...

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.

Time is a fickle thing. Depending on your frame of reference, it can appear to pass slower or quicker, thanks to a wonky phenomenon known as time dilation that was described in Albert Einstein's ...

When you follow Einstein’s math step by step, you enter a world where intuition starts to break down. His equations of relativity reveal that time slows down near massive objects, space itself bends ...

Time dilation, a captivating concept embedded in Einstein’s theory of relativity, has been experimentally validated on Earth. With the use of ultra-precise clocks, scientists have been able to ...

WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) - Time is a slippery thing, as profound thinkers like physicist Albert Einstein and, well, fictional time traveler Dr. Who plainly understood. The latter, in a 2007 ...

Every week, the readers of our space newsletter, The Airlock, send in their questions for space reporter Neel V. Patel to answer. This week: time dilation during space travel. I heard that time ...

I am so intimidated right now...I think I understand less about relativity now than before I asked the question. I think - if I understand things as written - that time can be observed to slow for an ...
