Want your mind really blown... look up / read on time dilation or time dilation and the twin paradox

History teacher turned wanna be programmer = bad at explaining relativity haha so I'll post example haha

There are two twin brothers. On their thirtieth birthday, one of the brothers goes on a space journey in a superfast rocket that travels at 99% of the speed of light. The space traveller stays on his journey for precisely one year, whereupon he returns to Earth on his 31st birthday. On Earth, however, seven years have elapsed, so his twin brother is 37 years old at the time of his arrival. This is due to the fact that time is stretched by factor 7 at approx. 99% of the speed of light, which means that in the space traveller’s reference frame, one year is equivalent to seven years on earth. Yet, time appears to have passed normally to both brothers, i.e. both still need five minutes to shave each morning in their respective reference frame.

Relativity = screwing with your mind.

:blink: So...I've always wondered. The theories about the relativity of time...is there actually any proof of this, or is it just a theory that's widely accepted?

[gbrinn]

It's actually measurable.

Yes, yes he was. Hawking's right up there with him, too.
