The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why does time slow down when we approach the speed of light? Does time really stop at the speed of light?
That's mind-boggling. How is it possible for time to pass normally for the object but appear to stop for an outside observer?
It all has to do with perspective and the way that time and space are warped by the speed of light. As an object approaches the speed of light, the distance it travels through space appears to shrink, while the time it experiences appears to slow down. This is why time dilation occurs.
