Why Does Gravity Slow Down Time?
š” The Answer
- According to Einstein's general relativity, gravity warps spacetime.
- Near a massive object, spacetime is more curved, causing time to pass slower.
- This effect is called gravitational time dilation.
- GPS satellites must adjust for time dilation to maintain accuracy.
