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 ...

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 ...

Time is often treated as constant, but Einstein showed that it isn’t. Speed and gravity both affect how fast time moves, and ...

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.

Scientists have for the first time observed the early universe running in extreme slow motion, unlocking one of the mysteries of Einstein’s expanding universe. Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

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 dilation: It’s a staple of science fiction, and whether you’re familiar with the term or not, you’ve probably encountered it in print or film. Fly fast enough to the speed of light, and your ...

In a first, astronomers have observed time ticking in slow motion in the early cosmos, confirming Albert Einstein’s century-old ideas about the reality-warping effects of our universe’s expansion. By ...

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 ...

Archetype Entertainment, a studio from ex-BioWare developers, has revealed the first gameplay trailer for Exodus. The game was first announced at The Game Awards in 2023 by Matthew McConaughey, who ...
