Why Do We Age Slower In Space?

Time is relative, which means that the rate time passes changes based on numerous factors.
What this means is that astronauts up in space are aging slower than everyone here on Earth. But why?

Sometimes I forget that we are on a big rock floating in space lol

[skevhugh]

anyone else here from that interstellar scene?

"Why Do We Age Slower" In Space? And they explain to you again and again that we age slower in space but don't tell why.

Ah yes. The perfect video at night when you are bored

Now i know why i can think like an adult... it is because i lay down most of the time.

For the people who actually want a straight forward answer:

Gravitational pull is what causes you too age faster. When you move at a certain speed you actually are defying gravity, whether your in space or not. For example if you could run at 5/a second and ran off a cliff, you wouldn’t fall too the ground initially,

In space however you have no gravitational pull putting stress on your body.

There’s MUCH more too it but this is my basic understanding of it

Help me here, TITLE: 'Why do we age slower in space?' 1:03 "you would age faster than somebody back home" 1:36 "the twin in the rocket would find upon returning: that the earth-bound twin had aged more"

[nolongeravailable]

So, this is in relation to age as measured by time, and not age as measured by biology.

What if you spend 5 months next to a Black Hole...
It would be 87 Years later on Earth?

Time travel is all about...lik u see yesterday...I sleep, I wake up at the morning, I just time travel 🕔🚀🕢

I think it’s important to state that time is relevant to your pov. A second will pass the same from our pov, the difference is how much faster one second is for the other person.

should i spin clockwise or anticlockwise?

[anupissac]

When you go around earth, each time your direction changes and so acceleration occurs. Effect of acceleration and that of gravity are same. So the person going around earth goes younger, because of time dilation due to gravity and velocity. Though effect of earth's gravity is less for him, effect of acceleration of the circular motion is more.

Lemme put space mode on my phone before I go up there before everything messes up!

[georgemyers]

Whatever. I say you age slowly when traveling close to speed of light because of conservation of energy. Your atoms are less active so you age less.

[Catalyst]

But would your experience of time change with that, do you actually gain more years or is it only more years in the eyes of the other person back on earth? Like do I experience 10 years let’s say but when I meet up with my friend after coming back to earth it’s actually been 11 years for him or some other time greater than my 10 years.

So if you keep moving on earth (closest to the gravity that only exists here as we know) then you will age slower to somebody just floating in space (not moving) but if the person in space was moving (such as the space station constantly orbiting the earth) then they would age less than the same equivalent of people moving on Earth - so thats why they said superman at the end would age less if he could keep flying around the earth because he would be not only moving but also in space and moving compared to the difference of moving on earth (closer to the gravity pull)

This is so incomplete 😂either talk about the whole thing or don't confuse other people here

[alextogo]

This video makes no sense. It's like he's running in circles.

Once we went to space, we will feel a different world.
