Because the moon has less gravity than Earth does, time passes slightly differently there. This effect was first predicted by ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Scientists using quasars as cosmic clocks have observed that when the universe was just a billion years old, time ran five times slower, helping to confirm Einstein's general theory of relativity and ...
