The Geminid meteor shower peaks overnight this weekend. Here's when to look for the most shooting stars — and where to aim ...
Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.
In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...
In the 80th year of the nuclear age, with just 89 seconds left on the Doomsday Clock, every nuclear challenge is trending in ...
AI is already sufficiently robust that it introduces new global risks and exacerbates existing threats. Its development is ...
Time on Mars does not match time on Earth, and the difference is no longer a thought experiment. Precision calculations now show that clocks on the red planet tick measurably faster, confirming a ...
Summary: Time doesn’t flow uniformly across the solar system, and new research reveals just how differently it unfolds on Mars compared with Earth. By tracing subtle gravitational and orbital ...
On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.
This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...
On Earth, telling time is easy. Our clocks are synchronized using atomic clocks, GPS satellites, and fast communication ...
This means that, due to time dilation, you would age faster on Mars than on Earth. If you were to spend a whole 50 years on the Red Planet, you’d end up a whole 9 seconds older than if you had stayed ...
Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.
