Question

What is time dilation and how does it effect aging in life around the universe.

Answer 1

Hi, your answer is below.

Time dilation is usually defined as the slowing of the passage of time experienced by objects in motion relative to an observer; measurable only a relativistic speeds.  Because time moves at various rates for the two of them depending on their relative velocities and/or proximity to things of considerable mass, if two persons (or objects) are moving relative to one another, they will age at separate rates. They will age differently from one another over time since their two timepieces will really tick at separate speeds. If they cross paths again later, they will both have aged differently, which may be determined by using their own timepieces, presuming they each had one. Einstein's Special and General Relativity equations, which have undergone extensive testing over the past 115 years and have never been shown to falter, regulate this "time dilation." The general relativity theory of Einstein, which states that a huge body's gravity warps space-time around it, causes time to move more quickly or more slowly depending on how far away the mass is from the observer, is what causes this so-called "time-dilation" phenomenon.
