If someone traveled in a spaceship to Pluto and back, they would be a different age then everyone on earth. How is this possible?
In: Physics
Time is effected by gravity and/or speed.
The faster you go, the slower you experience time and so the slower you age. Likewise, the more gravity that’s interacting with your mass, the slower you age. Theoretically, if you managed to reach the speed of light, time stops entirely.
So, in your thing, if you traveled exceedingly fast, you’d age slower and be younger than the people back on Earth through the same time-frame. How much slower depends on how fast you go.
