  2. Accelerating change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_change

    According to Kurzweil, since the beginning of evolution, more complex life forms have been evolving exponentially faster, with shorter and shorter intervals between the emergence of radically new life forms, such as human beings, who have the capacity to engineer (i.e. intentionally design with efficiency) a new trait which replaces relatively ...

  3. Speed of gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity

    The speed of gravitational waves in the general theory of relativity is equal to the speed of light in vacuum, c. [3] Within the theory of special relativity, the constant c is not only about light; instead it is the highest possible speed for any interaction in nature.

  5. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Transversal time dilation. The blue dots represent a pulse of light. Each pair of dots with light "bouncing" between them is a clock. In the frame of each group of clocks, the other group is measured to tick more slowly, because the moving clock's light pulse has to travel a larger distance than the stationary clock's light pulse.

    The clocks aboard the airplanes were slightly faster than clocks on the ground. The effect is significant enough that the Global Positioning System's artificial satellites need to have their clocks corrected. [13] Additionally, time dilations due to height differences of less than one metre have been experimentally verified in the laboratory. [14]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_expansion_of...

    For supernovae at redshift less than around 0.1, or light travel time less than 10 percent of the age of the universe, this gives a nearly linear distance–redshift relation due to Hubble's law. At larger distances, since the expansion rate of the universe has changed over time, the distance-redshift relation deviates from linearity, and this ...
