Why

Einstein's theory of relativity predicts that time passes differently for observers in different frames of reference, such as those moving at different speeds or in different gravitational fields.

The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This measurement provides empirical evidence for time dilation, a key prediction of Einstein's theory of relativity, demonstrating that time travel into the future is a measurable phenomenon.
