What is Time Dilation? (Einstein’s Relativity Simplified)

Описание: Time dilation is a real physical effect that changes how time passes depending on speed and gravity. In this video, we explain time dilation step by step using Einstein’s theory of relativity, simple analogies, and real-world examples you already use every day.

What is Time Dilation? (Einstein’s Relativity Simplified) | Simple Things – Surprising Histories

This documentary-style episode from Simple Things – Surprising Histories breaks down the science behind time dilation, explaining how motion and gravity affect time itself — from fast-moving spacecraft to GPS satellites orbiting Earth.

Topics covered in this video:
• What time dilation really means
• Why time is not absolute
• Einstein’s Special Relativity explained simply
• How speed slows down time
• The Twin Paradox explained
• Real experiments that prove time dilation
• How gravity affects the flow of time
• Why time moves faster in satellites
• How GPS systems rely on time dilation
• Real-world applications of Einstein’s theory
