Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.

This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...

Scientists reveal why time moves faster on Mars than on Earth, and how this affects future space communication and navigation ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...
