What if time didn’t flow at the same rate everywhere in the universe? In this episode, we explore gravitational time dilation, the mind-bending effect where time runs slower in stronger gravitational fields. We’ll break down how Einstein’s general relativity predicts this phenomenon, why clocks on Earth’s surface tick slower than those in orbit, and how this effect is crucial for technologies like GPS. From black holes to high-altitude experiments, discover how gravity warps time itself—and what this means for our understanding of reality.
