The theory is if you go near the speed of light then the time will move much slower than someone that is stationary but it is also stated that speed is relative, which seems to contradict this theory. To the person moving near speed of light in space will see the stationary person moving near the speed of light and vice versa, so how does time change happen between them?
In: Physics
You don’t even need to think about this in terms of moving at the speed of light. If you were to have two identical clocks and set them to the same time, then place one where it’s stationary and the other in your vehicle, then drive as you would normally day to day, you’ll find that the over time the clock in the car will lose time as compared to the stationary clock. It’s an example of this effect that many people experience.
