  2. Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

    Gravitational time dilation is a form of time dilation, an actual difference of elapsed time between two events, as measured by observers situated at varying distances from a gravitating mass. The lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the slower time passes, speeding up as the gravitational ...

  3. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them (special relativity), or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativity). When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity.

    The iPad is a brand of iOS- and iPadOS-based tablet computers that are developed and marketed by Apple.The first-generation iPad was introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the iPad product line has been expanded to include the smaller iPad Mini, the lighter and thinner iPad Air, and the flagship iPad Pro models.

    When 7-inch tablets first began emerging as competitors tried to take bites out of Apple's huge slice of tablet market share, Steve Jobs decried the 7-inch tablet as an intrinsically inferior product.

    The space station is whizzing around Earth at about five miles per second (18,000 mph), according to NASA. That means time moves slower for the astronauts relative to people on the surface. Now ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    This is a different voyage than the one shown above, as both schemes take the same assumed total point-of-view time: T=12 (stay-at-home), resp τ=12 (ship), so the results of the calculated other-one's times must be different: τ=9.33 (ship), resp T=17.3 (stay at home). In the standard proper time formula

  9. Galileo's law of odd numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_law_of_odd_numbers

    In classical mechanics and kinematics, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by a falling object in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time interval, it will cover 3, 5, 7, etc. times that distance ...
