Discuss if is actually possible under these laws.
If you move faster, time actually slows down for you compared to someone standing still. The Speed Limit: This happens because the speed of light ( ) is the absolute speed limit of the universe.
To keep the speed of light constant for everyone, space and time must "stretch" and "shrink" to compensate for motion. 🧵 The Fabric of Spacetime Space, Time and Einstein
This isn't just "heady" math; it’s baked into our daily lives.
Einstein’s General Relativity took it a step further. He realized that space and time are interwoven into a four-dimensional continuum. Discuss if is actually possible under these laws
Imagine a trampoline. Place a bowling ball (the Sun) in the middle, and it creates a dip. A marble (Earth) rolls around the curve of that dip. That curvature is what we perceive as gravity. ⏳ Why It Matters Today
Understanding spacetime allows scientists to trace the expansion of the universe back to its very beginning. To keep the speed of light constant for
Before Einstein, Isaac Newton’s view ruled: time was a universal clock ticking at the same rate for everyone. Einstein shattered this by proving that .
