AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of time dilation as described by the theory of relativity, where time appears to slow down for objects moving at high speeds, particularly as they approach the speed of light. There is substantial experimental evidence supporting this phenomenon, which can be explored further in resources like Wikipedia. The explanation clarifies that the effect is not a paradox, but rather a result of differing observations between moving and stationary observers. Understanding this concept is crucial for grasping the implications of relativity in physics. Overall, time dilation is a well-established aspect of modern physics.

Hi,
I remember that long long time ago, I got that the time will slow down when one object does accelerate to be in light speed. What is the evidence to prove this?

Best regards

Sounds like the theory of relativity, there is a lot of evidence for this. Here is a list of some experimental evidence:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_special_relativity

The phenomenon isn't exactly as you describe, but it sounds like time dilation, where an observer moving relative to a clock will see that the clock ticks slower than an observer at rest relative to the clock. This disagreement between two observers is strange, but it is not a paradox.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
