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.

I am so intimidated right now...I think I understand less about relativity now than before I asked the question. I think - if I understand things as written - that time can be observed to slow for an ...
