Time is Relative - The Twin Baby Experiment | After Skool
Summary
This episode explores the implications of Einstein’s theory of relativity, explaining how time dilation affects GPS satellite accuracy and the observable universe. It uses the twin paradox to illustrate how time slows at near-light speeds and discusses how the accelerating expansion of the universe causes distant galaxies to eventually fall beyond our visual horizon. The narrative connects these cosmic phenomena to the subjective feeling of time accelerating in modern life.
