    Thanks guys

    Graduate Does time dilation occur even in our everyday movements?

    I don't, actually I don't even take physics in school, I just got done with my GCE O Levels & in my free time found this branch of physics to be interesting so I just started reading up. Well I'd think they're the same thing since when time is dilated it ticks slower relative to a clock held...

    Graduate Does time dilation occur even in our everyday movements?

    Would I be correct to say that time would not dilate at all if I were to be sedentary throughout my life? & is it also correct to say that even for us individuals time dilates relative to each other? For example, we all move around, do things & time passes by, but though the difference may be...

    Graduate How Does Gravity Affect Time and Distance in Space Travel?

    Yes I already knew that dilation is a sort of an adjustment made to ensure that the boundary (speed of light) isn't crossed. I also understand that this it is highly unlikely that such a scenario as shown in the picture will ever be possible though just for theory sake I came up with it. How can...

    Graduate How Does Gravity Affect Time and Distance in Space Travel?

    I'm feeling so frustrated that I typed out a whole detailed write up & it got washed off. Damn it. 1. How does gravity dilate time? I've been trying to get a conceptual answer that is easy to understand, for I have no background in physics whatsoever & am reading up out of interest. Today...
