Did you know that time moves slower the closer you are to a strong gravitational field?
This is called gravitational time dilation, and it means that if you lived at the base of a
mountain, you would age slightly slower than someone at the top!
This effect has been confirmed by atomic clocks placed at different altitudes.
The stronger the gravity, the slower time moves.
So technically, astronauts age faster in space!

Your brain is always living in the past!
It takes about 80 milliseconds for your brain to process what you see, meaning that everything you perceive
has already happened.
This delay is why fast-moving objects, like a baseball flying toward you, seem to appear slightly behind where
they actually are.
Your brain constantly predicts the future to compensate, but in reality, you’re always experiencing a delayed version of
the world!

Time is not universal—it flows differently depending on speed!
According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, the faster you move, the slower time passes for you.
This means that if you traveled near the speed of light, you could return to Earth having aged
only a few years while centuries passed for everyone else.
This effect has been tested with high-speed jets and atomic clocks, proving that time is truly relative!

There’s no such thing as the present moment!
According to physics, time is a continuous flow, and what we call 'now' is just an illusion created
by our brains.
In reality, past, present, and future all exist simultaneously in a four-dimensional space-time fabric.
This means that in some sense, your future already exists—you just haven’t experienced it yet!
It’s a mind-bending concept that challenges everything we think we know.

The universe might have a time limit!
Some theories suggest that time itself could eventually stop.
In a scenario called 'cosmic time freeze,' the expansion of the universe could slow down atomic movement until
time ceases to exist.
If this happens, everything would be frozen in place forever.
Scientists don’t know if this will happen, but if it does, time itself could have an expiration date!
Mind blown?
