Time Dilation

Time dilation appears when, for example, one watches a moving clock from a static system. The moving clock slows down according to the Lorentz transformation. This phenomenon was exactly measured, so now you too are able to observe it. The clock of a fast moving space shuttle - observed from the Earth - will slow down. The greater the speed of the shuffle, the slower its clock goes - observed from Earth, of course. The exact formula is as follows:
