From what we know about No Man’s Sky, aging won’t be a source of in-game anxiety. Although characters can definitely die and the universe is big enough to explore into one’s dotage, the archbishop won ...

Time is a fickle thing. Depending on your frame of reference, it can appear to pass slower or quicker, thanks to a wonky phenomenon known as time dilation that was described in Albert Einstein’s ...

Tracking time is one of those things that seems easy, until you really start to get into the details of what time actually is. We define a second as 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a cesium atom.

Someday, in the not-too-distant future, humans may send robotic probes to explore nearby star systems. These robot explorers will likely take the form of lightsails and wafercraft (a la Breakthrough ...

NPL has shared the results of a time dilation demonstration—which shows that time travels faster as height increases, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The demonstration ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...
