The faster the relative velocity, the greater the time dilation between them, with time slowing to a stop as one clock approaches the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s). In theory, time dilation would make it possible for passengers in a fast-moving vehicle to advance into the future in a short period of their own time.
The speed of light in a locale is always equal to c according to the observer who is there. That is, every infinitesimal region of spacetime may be assigned its own proper time, and the speed of light according to the proper time at that region is always c. This is the case whether or not a given region is occupied by an observer.
Time's Paces is a poem about the apparent speeding up of time as one gets older. It was written by Henry Twells (1823–1900) and published in his book Hymns and Other Stray Verses (1901). The poem was popularised by Guy Pentreath (1902–1985) in an amended version.

Now, a new study from NASA’s JPL and ETH Zurich says that climate change is speeding up the process and could even surpass the Moon’s diurnal influence by 2100.
The timeline in this schematic diagram extends from the Big Bang/inflation era 13.8 billion years ago to the present cosmological time. Observations show that the expansion of the universe is accelerating , such that the velocity at which a distant galaxy recedes from the observer is continuously increasing with time.
Relation between the speed and the Lorentz factor γ (and hence the time dilation of moving clocks). Time dilation as predicted by special relativity is often verified by means of particle lifetime experiments. According to special relativity, the rate of a clock C traveling between two synchronized laboratory clocks A and B, as seen by a ...
Researchers have discovered that Mars’s rotation is speeding up. Using data from the retired InSight lander, researchers used very precise radio measurements to clock the milliarcseconds-per ...
