Time Dilation Explained: GPS, Gravity, and Your Speed #shorts

[00:00:00]Actually, if we want to break this down a little bit, there there are a couple different effects about time. And and one of the things that that you know, NASA does is we you calibrates the GPS satellites and the signal coming. And you and you wouldn't I mean, I think I heard that I mean, within within a day, if we didn't take into account the time difference these things are in, that we we would be about 6 miles off. I mean, in a in a single day.

[00:00:22]>> That's great.

[00:00:22]>> Oh, yeah. No, it's it's a big deal. I mean, this this is not a theory. Ti- Time is is is variable depending on how fast you're going and also how far off the Earth's surface you are or how I should say how far away from a a big gravity body you are.

[00:00:34]We have clocks that are so accurate that if you move about 2 ft above where you know, if you if we had a clock on this desk and then if we moved it up about 2 ft, we could actually detect time flowing differently because you're just that far away from the Earth's gravity, just 2 ft.
