Stoke FM Knows Time Dilation & Missions to Mars
The fact that time passes differently depending on gravity is a pretty crazy concept called time dilation, and it has real effects on astronauts working in space, as well as creating a difference in time on a clock at the height of your head, in comparison with a clock at your feet. We have instruments, including in your phone, that can measure this difference, thank to Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. Professor Michio Kaku describes this in pretty simple terms so take a listen to the clip, and follow the link below.
