What is Time-Dilation?
Time-Dilation is a phenomenon where the passage of time appears to slow down or speed up depending on the observer's frame of reference.
For example, when you're on a train traveling at high speeds, time appears to pass normally. But when you're standing still, time appears to slow down for you relative to someone on the train.
Or, when you're in a high-gravity environment, time appears to slow down for you relative to someone in a low-gravity environment.
Time-Dilation is like, totally a real thing, man.
Types of Time-Dilation
Gravitational Time-Dilation
Gravitational Time-Dilation occurs when you're in a strong gravitational field, like near a black hole or a really heavy planet.
It's like, time is all squished up and stuff.
Relativistic Time-Dilation
Relativistic Time-Dilation occurs when you're moving at high speeds relative to each other, like when you're on that train I mentioned earlier.
It's like, time is all stretched out and stuff.
Quantum Fluctuation Time-Dilation
Quantum Fluctuation Time-Dilation occurs when particles are moving really, really fast, like in the quantum world.
It's like, time is all wibbly-wobbly and stuff.
