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

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 travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...

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 ...

Physicists from JILA — a CU Boulder and National Institute of Standards and Technology institute — were able to measure an effect called time dilation at the smallest scale ever, which they say could ...

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 ...
