News Scientists' use of quasars Demonstrate time dilation in early universe What Consequence of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Time is relative Time passes at different rates Depending on observers' relative positions or motions in gravitational field Slowing down of clock As determined by observer in relative motion with respect to the clock How Time dilation due to effects of motion, gravity on time flow According to Einstein's theory of relativity Time can vary depending on observer's motion, strength of gravity High-speed relative motion between objects Time appears to slow down for moving object relative to stationary one Known as "time dilation" Consequence of constant speed of light, principle of physics being the same for all observers Faster an object moves, more pronounced time dilation effect Presence of strong gravitational field Time appears to run slower compared to weaker gravitational field Gravitational time dilation Caused by curvature of spacetime near massive objects Like planets, stars, black holes Clocks closer to a massive object tick slower Compared to those farther away Confirmed through various experiments Such as Hafele-Keating experiment, high-speed particles, atomic clocks measurements Facts Twin paradox Thought experiment illustrating effects of time dilation Involves two twins Twin A stays on Earth Twin B travels in high-speed spaceship Twin B accelerates to significant fraction of speed of light Turns around, returns to Earth Time dilation effect on twin B during journey Experiences time passing more slowly than twin A On return, less time passed for twin B Compared to twin A on Earth Twin B appears younger than twin A Paradox of one twin aging more slowly Despite both being born at the same time
