  2. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation was used in the Doctor Who episodes "World Enough and Time" and "The Doctor Falls", which take place on a spaceship in the vicinity of a black hole. Due to the immense gravitational pull of the black hole and the ship's length (400 miles), time moves faster at one end than the other.

  3. Drosophila circadian rhythm - Wikipedia

    First, the light activates the cry gene in the clock neurons. Although CRY is produced deep inside the brain, it is sensitive to UV and blue light, and thus it easily signals the brain cells the onset of light. It irreversibly and directly binds to TIM causing it to break down through proteosome-dependent ubiquitin-mediated degradation.

  4. Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

    Gravitational time dilation is a form of time dilation, an actual difference of elapsed time between two events, as measured by observers situated at varying distances from a gravitating mass. The lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the slower time passes, speeding up as the gravitational ...

  5. Drosophila melanogaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_melanogaster

    Light conditions during development affect daily activity patterns in Drosophila melanogaster, where flies raised under constant dark or light are less active as adults than those raised under a 12-hour light/dark cycle. [96] Temperature is one of the most pervasive factors influencing arthropod development.

  6. Common green bottle fly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_green_bottle_fly

    Its body is 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in) in length – slightly larger than a house fly – and has brilliant, metallic, blue-green or golden coloration with black markings. It has short, sparse, black bristles and three cross-grooves on the thorax. The wings are clear with light brown veins, and the legs and antennae are black.

    Relative velocity time dilation is where time moves slower as you move faster. The classic example of this is the twin scenario . One twin blasts off in a spaceship traveling close to the speed of ...

  8. Time perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception

    The most well-known version of this illusion is known as the stopped-clock illusion, wherein a subject's first impression of the second-hand movement of an analog clock, subsequent to one's directed attention (i.e., saccade) to the clock, is the perception of a slower-than-normal second-hand movement rate (the second-hand of the clock may ...

    This would make the Spirit plane slower to climb with a slower cruising speed, he said. Spirit Airlines aircrafts are shown at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport on August 05, 2021 in ...
