The Weirdest Things About Time

Did you know time moves slower the faster you go?

It’s called time dilation, and astronauts experience it in space.

If you traveled near the speed of light, time for you would slow down compared to people on

Earth.

That means you could return from a journey and find that decades have passed while you barely aged!

Your brain is always living in the past!

It takes about 80 milliseconds for your brain to process what you see, meaning you never experience the

present in real-time.

Everything you perceive has already happened.

This delay is why fast-moving objects, like baseballs, seem to appear out of nowhere before you can react.

Time isn’t the same everywhere in the universe.

Gravity bends time, making it move slower near massive objects.

This means time passes faster on a mountain than at sea level.

If you lived at the top of Everest, you’d age slightly faster than someone at the beach.

The stronger the gravity, the slower time moves!

The future might already exist!

Some physicists believe in the ‘block universe’ theory, where past, present, and future all exist simultaneously.

We only experience time as moving forward because of our perception.

If true, this means your future is already out there—you just haven’t reached it yet.

Mind-blowing, right?
