Скачать или смотреть Time Dilation Explained: How Gravity and Speed Alter Time!

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time passes more slowly in stronger gravitational fields. So, near a black hole or moving at near-light speeds, time would actually move slower compared to areas further away from these influences.

The Twin Paradox is a famous thought experiment in relativity that involves time dilation. Imagine two twins, Alice and Bob:

Alice stays on Earth, and Bob travels to a distant star at a speed close to the speed of light.

Bob's Journey: He travels to the star and back in a spaceship moving at 90% of the speed of light.

Alice's Experience: On Earth, Alice ages normally. Let's say the round trip for Bob takes 10 years by her clock.

Bob's Experience: Due to the high speed of his spaceship, time for Bob passes much more slowly. When he returns to Earth, only about 2 years have passed for him.

So, if Alice was 30 years old when Bob left, she might be 40 when he returns, but Bob would only be 32.
