Time Dialation in regards to aging?

745 views

OK so I know this has been asked but I still don’t get it.

Who do humans age faster/slower? (Shown in interstellar for example) Biologically I don’t understand why the body would age faster?

Time itself runs at a different speed.

Imagine you had some kind of magic time slowing chamber where inside it time runs 10x slower. Anyone getting in to it would look from the outside to be moving in super slow motion, and to the person in the chamber everyone outside would be moving in super fast motion.

If the person inside stayed in there for a year of their time, 10 years would have passed outside.

Now these time chambers kind of exist, anything moving close to the speed of light or in a very strong gravity field will experience slow time like this.

That’s what happened to the crew in Interstellar, they were in a very strong gravity field so time was running slower for them.
