  2. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

    It was indeed pointed out that time dilation of moving clocks depends on the convention for the one-way velocities used in its formula. [18] That is, time dilation can be measured by synchronizing two stationary clocks A and B, and then the readings of a moving clock C are compared with them. Changing the convention of synchronization for A and ...

  3. Experimental testing of time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_testing_of...

    Decay time of muons: The time dilation formula is = , where T 0 is the proper time of a clock comoving with the muon, corresponding with the mean decay time of the muon in its proper frame. As the muon is at rest in S′, we have γ=1 and its proper time T′ 0 is measured.

  4. Shapiro time delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapiro_time_delay

    After the direct detection of gravitational waves in 2016, the one-way Shapiro delay was calculated by two groups and is about 1800 days. In general relativity and other metric theories of gravity, though, the Shapiro delay for gravitational waves is expected to be the same as that for light and neutrinos.

  5. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    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.

  6. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    This is a different voyage than the one shown above, as both schemes take the same assumed total point-of-view time: T=12 (stay-at-home), resp τ=12 (ship), so the results of the calculated other-one's times must be different: τ=9.33 (ship), resp T=17.3 (stay at home). In the standard proper time formula

  7. Ives–Stilwell experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ives–Stilwell_experiment

    In physics, the Ives–Stilwell experiment tested the contribution of relativistic time dilation to the Doppler shift of light. [1] [2] The result was in agreement with the formula for the transverse Doppler effect and was the first direct, quantitative confirmation of the time dilation factor. Since then many Ives–Stilwell type experiments ...

  8. Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

    To show that, one can apply Noether's theorem to a body that freely falls into the well from infinity. Then the time invariance of the metric implies conservation of the quantity g ( v , d t ) = v 0 / T 2 {\displaystyle g(v,dt)=v^{0}/T^{2}} , where v 0 {\displaystyle v^{0}} is the time component of the 4-velocity v {\displaystyle v} of the body.

  9. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    In pre-relativistic physics the ability should decrease at high velocities, because the time in which ionizing particles in motion can interact with the electrons of other atoms or molecules is diminished; however, in relativity, the higher-than-expected ionization ability can be explained by length contraction of the Coulomb field in frames in ...
