How does time dilation work?
Just rewatched Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece **Interstellar** for the umpteenth time, and I still fail to understand the concept of time dilation, can anyone explain it to me like I’m 5? Or like I’m a recent high school graduate who made a B in AP Physics?

In a very basic sense, the closer to the speed of light that you get the slower time moves for you. So if you had 2 clocks set at the exact time and one was stationary and the other was on a plane doing 500mph for a few hours, after those few hours the clock would be slightly behind the stationary one (probably fractions of a nanosecond but still behind).
