Why does time move differently on Mars?

Time isn’t this fixed universal thing that works the same everywhere, and Mars is a brilliant example of how location […] ...
Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...
Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?
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 ...
Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and ...
On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.
Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...
Scientists say that Mars may need its own time zone as they calculate that clocks on the red planet will tick 477 ...
Clocks on the Red Planet run almost 500 microseconds faster per Earth day than they do here at home. This also has consequences for settlement plans.
It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well ...
