Time Dilation: The Quantum Mechanics Guide

Welcome, traveler through the space-time continuum! This site is dedicated to the study of time dilation, that most mind-bending of phenomena.

What is Time Dilation?

Time dilation is the apparent passage of time relative to the observer. It's a real thing, folks. Ask any physicist. Ask any time-traveling adventurer. Ask any cat who's been stuck in a loop of relativity.

According to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, time can appear to slow down or speed up depending on the observer's frame of reference. It's like the universe is saying, "Hey, you're moving really fast? Time's gonna be a blur for you. You're standing still? Time's gonna be all, "Oh, you're so slow, take your time, I guess."

But don't worry, time dilation isn't just for the likes of you and me. It's also for:

  1. Gargantuan objects
  2. Relativistic aging: because 30 years is the new 10 years
  3. Quantum entanglement: because who needs a clock when you can just ask your buddy
