Why do astronauts age slower? Astronauts are human like us, but they age more slowly, not like us. So what do you think is the reason for this? Let’s talk about it today.
Why Are Astronauts Aging Slower?
Why Are Astronauts Aging Slower? The speed of time in our world is not the same as the time in space. This is because what we do in space affects time, and what we do in time affects space. So we can change the time in space.
The faster you move in space, the more time will move for you. On the contrary, the slower you move, the faster time will flow for us.
Now let’s come to the answer to our question. Because astronauts move fast in space, they age more slowly than we on Earth. In other words, time passes more slowly for them due to their fast movements.
So Do You Think There Is A Limit To Speed?
Of course, speed has a limit. The maximum speed a speed can travel is the speed of light. In other words, the closer an object in space approaches the speed of light, the slower time will flow for it. At the speed of light, time stops. In other words, when a photon that is far away from us is born, this event takes place instantaneously for the photon, although it takes a very long time for us. That is, it is born and dies instantly. The reason for this is that time does not flow at all for the photon.
What Happens If We Exceed the Speed of Light?
We can’t even go at the speed of light right now, let alone exceeding the speed of light. But when a day comes and we manage to exceed the speed of light, we can say that time will flow backwards this time. The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time passes, and time stops at the full speed of light. If we exceed the speed of light, time starts to flow backwards, not forwards this time. Of course, in this case, it would be an event that shows that we have to go beyond many laws.
Simply put, time is one of the most precious things in this life. Don’t waste it 🙂
