For centuries, humans have thought of time as a linear concept - but time dilation challenges that perception. Just as gravity pulls things down, time simply moves forward at a constant, unwavering ...

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 ...

Einstein's theory of relativity has all sorts of weird results that make it difficult to wrap your head around, but one of the weirdest is time dilation. Basically, according to relativity, if you ...

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 ...

Now here’s some weird science for you. The Earth’s surface is actually 2.5 years older than its core. Meaning that the core of our planet (the inside) is 2.5 years younger than the surface (the ...

A new theoretical paper has tackled the phenomenon of quantum decoherence, the process by which objects slip out of the quantum world and start behaving classically. The paper approaches this in a new ...

The concept of time dilation in space is a mind-bending reality that stems from Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. This theory posits that time as we know it is not a constant, but rather a ...

Robin Zabiegalski (they/them) is a queer, non-binary writer with over eight years of experience writing for digital media. Robin previously covered Star Trek for Heavy.com and has interviewed several ...

I have a question regarding time dilation that I thought of last night listening to an audiobook, Project Hail Mary. I am an amateur astrophotographer, and marvel at the distance to deep-space objects ...
