Apologizing for Grammar: Time, Speed & Space

AI Thread Summary
Time is not significantly affected by the speeds of the Earth, solar system, or galaxy, as noticeable time dilation occurs only at speeds approaching a large fraction of the speed of light. The concept of time slowing down is more pronounced in extreme conditions, such as near massive objects or at high velocities. Everyday experiences, like being in a boring lecture, can subjectively alter our perception of time, making it feel slower. The discussion highlights the distinction between theoretical physics and personal experiences of time. Understanding these concepts requires a deeper exploration of relativity and its implications.

Hi! first of all i want to apologize if i have any grammar mistake (english is not my native language).
I really don't understand much physics or astronomy since I am a computer engineer student, but i was wondering if time is related to speed and we add the speed of the Earth around the sun and the speed of the solar system around the galaxy and even the speed of galaxy this should make time run a lot slower? And what would happen to something that is stranded in space his time should run a lot faster than ours?

None of these speeds slows time in any noticeable manner. You must be moving at a pretty large fraction of light speed before any significant slowing of time takes place.

However, if you are stuck in a boring lecture, time crawls by almost imperceptibly.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
