Time Dialation in regards to aging?

713 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?

The faster you move, the slower time moves for you compared to someone who isn’t moving. This is a fundamental property of the universe; it “balances the equation” of special relativity.

So if you move very, very, very fast, like significant fractions of the speed of light, you will age more slowly than someone who is standing still compared to you. There isn’t anything different happening to you biologically, your aging process hasn’t changed, it’s just that you’re experiencing time at a different rate.
