Generation

Time dilation means that time passes at different rates depending on how fast you're moving or how strong the gravity is around you. If you were traveling in a spaceship at nearly the speed of light, time would pass normally for you, but when you returned to Earth, you'd find that much more time had passed here—you'd have aged less than everyone else. This isn't just theoretical: GPS satellites have to account for time dilation because time runs slightly faster for them in orbit than it does on Earth's surface. Einstein discovered that time isn't absolute—it's relative to your motion and position in a gravitational field.
