The claims in the comment by Bonder et al. 1 are incorrect and are rooted in a confusion of basic aspects of classical relativity and quantum mechanics. Here we briefly address the mistakes and ...

Like the GPS satellites around the other planets in our solar system must have varying levels of velocity and gravitational time dilation as they orbit closer and further from the sun, is there an ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

There are a million theories about the human species and how we interact with the earth. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy. It discovers what the building blocks of nature are. Many ...

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 ...

Let’s talk time dilation. We recently all experienced how March 2020 felt like it lasted something like 20 years, and how August to Christmas went in a blink of an eye. That’s almost relativity for ...

In 1797, English scientist Henry Cavendish measured the strength of gravity with a contraption made of lead spheres, wooden rods and wire. In the 21st century, scientists are doing something very ...

Now here’s some weird science for you. The Earth’s surface is actually 2.5 years older than its core. Meaning that the core of our planet (the inside) is 2.5 years younger than the surface (the ...

Time dilation, a captivating concept embedded in Einstein’s theory of relativity, has been experimentally validated on Earth. With the use of ultra-precise clocks, scientists have been able to ...
