The way in which time progresses on the Moon is becoming increasingly relevant as both countries push toward their next lunar ...
Time is a fickle thing. Depending on your frame of reference, it can appear to pass slower or quicker, thanks to a wonky phenomenon known as time dilation that was described in Albert Einstein’s ...
Time is often treated as constant, but Einstein showed that it isn’t. Speed and gravity both affect how fast time moves, and this has been proven through real experiments and satellite technology.
The researchers used measurements from the Moon's gravity to program a software package that can measure lunar time.
Time dilation is usually present in sci-fi movies especially if the main theme is all about cosmic encounters. While it sounds impossible in real life, astronomers said that it had happened in the ...
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 ...
Tracking time is one of those things that seems easy, until you really start to get into the details of what time actually is. We define a second as 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a cesium atom.

Did you know that moving a clock one inch toward the ground would result in a slower tick compared to the same clock positioned higher up? Gravity doesn't just pull things; it also bends time.
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. In the first billion years of our universe’s existence, time ...
I have a question regarding time dilation that I thought of last night listening to an audiobook, Project Hail Mary. I am an amateur astrophotographer, and marvel at the distance to deep-space objects ...
