ELIF: how is time relative?
In: Physics
Basically the faster you move, the slower time moves around you. To achieve any real noticeable time dilation you need to achieve massive speeds. As an example if we take the earth moving through space as a constant. a person at the equator will be moving, due to earths rotation, at 1000 miles per hour. The ISS travels around the earth at about 17,000 mile per hour. This 17x speed increase creates a time loss of .007ths of a second every 6 months. This dilation grows exponentially until you get up to lightspeed, where time no longer moves.
