It is notable that time dilation is not limited to kinetic or gravitational time dilation, but by virtue of the unification of gravitation and acceleration by the Equivalence Principle of General Relativity, by acceleration as well. In all cases, Time Dilation is…
read moreOn the surface, the concept of Time Dilation seems so strange to us that we imagine its formula must be one of incredible complexity. In reality, its incredible simplicity almost belies the genius required to conceive of it (Minkowski, Lorentz, Einstein). It…
read moreA gravitational field is a model used to explain the influences that a massive body extends into the space around itself, producing a gravitational force on another massive body. Thus, a gravitational field is used to explain gravitational phenomena, and is measured…

Relativistic Mechanics occurs at “normal” and large sizes, but at…
