🌀Time dilation is the result of objects moving at different speeds or in different gravitational fields.
⏳Relativity theory states that time is relative and not absolute, challenging our intuitive understanding.
🌎An experiment with atomic clocks on airplanes confirmed the existence of time dilation.
⌛Time dilation can be observed both in high-speed scenarios and near massive objects.
🔀The perception of time dilation depends on the observer's frame of reference and orientation.
What is time dilation?
—Time dilation is the phenomenon where time passes differently for objects moving at different speeds or in different gravitational fields.
What is the theory of relativity?
—The theory of relativity states that time is relative and not absolute, challenging our intuitive understanding of time.
How was time dilation experimentally proven?
—An experiment with atomic clocks on airplanes confirmed the existence of time dilation.
Where can we observe time dilation?
—Time dilation can be observed both in high-speed scenarios, such as airplanes, and near massive objects, such as black holes.
Does time dilation depend on the observer's frame of reference?
—Yes, the perception of time dilation depends on the observer's frame of reference and orientation.
