time dilation

By observing quasars from 12 billion years ago, astronomers have seen the universe flow in slow-mo, thanks to wonky time dilation.

It's All Relative

"We see time appearing to flow five times slower."

Astronomers Observe Mind-Blowing Time Dilation in the Ancient Years of the Universe

Avi Loeb says stars ejected by supermassive black holes travel so fast they essentially time travel, and they may make for great alien tourist destinations.

So Long!

Stars ejected by black hole mergers travel so fast that time starts to break down.

Specific Stars Are Effectively Time Traveling

The star S62 whips around the Milky Way's central black hole at a dizzying eight percent of lightspeed. It's so fast scientists can see time slow down.

It's Relative

At eight percent the speed of light, it's the fastest in our galaxy.

This Star Is Moving So Fast it Visibly Warps Spacetime

Time slows near massive objects, and that has a rather strange impact on our planet. 

Thanks to Time Dilation, Earth's Core is 2.5 Years Younger Than its Surface
