In physics and relativity, time dilation is the difference in the elapsed time as measured by two clocks. It is either due to a relative velocity between them (special relativistic “kinetic” time dilation) or to a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativistic gravitational time dilation). When unspecified, “time dilation” usually refers to the effect due to velocity.
After compensating for varying signal delays due to the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock (i.e. Doppler effect), the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking slower than a clock that is at rest in the observer’s own reference frame. In addition, a clock that is close to a massive body (and which therefore is at lower gravitational potential) will record less elapsed time than a clock situated further from the said massive body (and which is at a higher gravitational potential).
These predictions of the theory of relativity have been repeatedly confirmed by experiment, and they are of practical concern, for instance in the operation of satellite navigation systems such as GPS and Galileo.[1] Time dilation has also been the subject of science fiction works.

Canadian Company Is Using Hemp to Build Affordable Housing in Colorado
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in category: habitats
A Canadian hemp company just bought nearly 1,000 acres of land in Colorado as part of a new plan to showcase how hemp can be used to help build affordable housing.
Although most of America’s new hemp industry is focused on producing CBD and other cannabinoids, some companies are still using this remarkable plant for more traditional uses.

Anti-aging vaccine shows promise in mice — will it work in humans?
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
An experimental vaccine successfully eliminated aging cells from the bodies of mice, helping to prolong the rodents’ lives and reverse some signs of age-related disease. The researchers say the experiment is a step on the road to a similar vaccine for humans, but could it really work?

Clean energy was the No. 2 source of electricity in the US in 2020
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: energy, sustainability
Clean energy sources generated a record 834 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity, or about 21% of all electricity generated in the US in 2020, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported yesterday. That includes wind, hydroelectric, solar, biomass, and geothermal.

Why MacKenzie Scott Is The World’s Most Powerful Woman
Posted by Derick Lee in category: energy
Whether or not a $15 million gift is truly equivalent to $1 billion is up for debate, but there is no doubt that Scott is single handedly upending the model of how billionaires give away fortunes while supporting causes that look to disrupt the status quo and promote social justice. She is also questioning the system that put her into this position of power. “We are all attempting to give away a fortune that was enabled by systems in need of change,” she said this summer.
The third richest woman on the planet, MacKenzie Scott (Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife) is using her vast fortune to revolutionize the world of philanthropy and challenge what she says is the massive accumulation of wealth that’s been concentrated in too few hands.

Scientists Are Investigating If Time Warps Near a Nuclear Reactor
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: nuclear energy, quantum physics
A team of theoretical physicists at Griffiths University in Australia are investigating a radical quantum theory of time which posits that there is a asymmetry between time and space.
To explain why time points from the past to the future, scientists have proposed that under the second law of thermodynamics, time itself moves towards increased entropy, a measurement of disorder in a system.
