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 ...

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 ...

One of the consequences of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is that when an object is in motion, it experiences time more slowly than things motionless or moving at a slower speed. And the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
