In the theory of relativity, time dilation is an actual difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from gravitational masses. An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer....

A phenomenon predicted by the special theory of relativity in which the passage of time in the frame of reference of a moving object slows down as the object approaches the speed of light. Effectively, this makes it possible to spend energy to buy time. Time dilation has been experimentally confirme...

Time in the moving reference frame always flows more slowly. Time is slowed by about 40 nanoseconds in a flight from London to New York but the effect is more easily observed at speeds approaching that of light. Time will also pass more slowly in a strong gravitational field than in a weak one. See also: Length Contraction, Proper Time.
