Because the moon has less gravity than Earth does, time passes slightly differently there. This effect was first predicted by ...

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 ...

From what we know about No Man’s Sky, aging won’t be a source of in-game anxiety. Although characters can definitely die and the universe is big enough to explore into one’s dotage, the archbishop won ...

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 ...

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

Time really does move faster on Mars, but the breakthrough that confirms it did not come from a spacecraft’s stopwatch.

Tracking time is one of those things that seems easy, until you really start to get into the details of what time actually is. We define a second as 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a cesium atom.

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 ...
