Hello,
I have no background in physics, but I understand the very basic concepts.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but it is searing in my head.
Q: if time is relative to the observer, are there any cases where an observer perceives our ( meaning us on earth) space time to move slower, just as I would experience the time passed by an astronaut moving close the the speed of light as less?
Is this dictated by the rate of speed and gravity of earth? Would our time on Earth appear to pass slower to an observer on a body moving slower and with less gravity, say Pluto.
I guess the basic question here is, what is the opposite of the speed of light, what is slow?
I know this is serious forum, I'm sorry if this is a simple question,many thanks you for any answers,
Thanks,
Andre
