Ever feel time is running fast or seem so slow? Like when the time passed so quickly when you're with friends or when time is so slow when you are stuck in the rain. But you can not speed up or slow down the time right?
Time is always running in a constant velocity. Einstein did not think so. The idea he is the more we approach the speed of light, the slower time relative to those conditions that are not moving. He called it the slowing of time due to movement. Impossible, you say? Okay, imagine this. You stand on the earth, holding the clock. Your best friend is in the rocket with a speed of 250,000 km / sec. Your friend also held an hour. If you could see the clock that brought your friend, you will see that the clock seems to run slower than your clock. Instead your friend will feel at that he was carrying went biasa2 aja (not slow), he thought even at you that seems to run more slowly.
Still confused? Remember, Einstein took 8 years to find this. And he was considered a genius. Einstein provides an example to show the effect of slowing time he calls the "twin paradox". As game time traveler. Let us try to assume there are 2 twins named Eyne and Stine. Dua2nya we consider 10 years old. Eyne decided he was bored in the earth and need a vacation. He heard that there is something interesting in Alpha3 star system, which is 25 light years. Stine who must follow a math test next week, should stay home to study. So Eyne left alone. Want to have it there, he decided to run at speeds 99.99% the speed of light. The trip to the star system back and forth takes time 50 years. What happens when Eyne back? Stine has 60 years, but Eyen as young as 10 ½ years. How is this possible? Eyne been gone for 50 years but only increased ½ years old! Hey, if Eyne just discovered the fountain of youth!
Einstein's idea of time slowing down seems to be true and all is a theory, but how do you know if he's right? One way is to ride the rocket and the rocket accelerate near the speed of light. But until now, we can not do it. But there is one way to test. How do we know that Einstein was not wrong? This experiment may provide an explanation on his idea. Atomic clocks are extremely accurate clock that could measure a very small unit. Sepersejutaan seconds can be measured. In 1971, scientists use these hours to test Einstein's ideas. The atomic clock is set on the earth, and one more taken around the world to use jet aircraft with a speed of 966 km / hour. At first the two-hour show is set for the same time. What happens when the clock was taken around the world and then back to the point where the other clock was? In accordance estimated Einstein, the two hours it had not shown the same time. Hours that have been taken around the world, shows the delay time seperberapa million seconds!
You may ask why how difference is so small? Good question! Well, 966 km / h fast enough, but still not approaching the speed of light. To see a significant time difference, you have to drive very much faster.
