Why does time slow down when we approach the speed of light? Does time really stop at the speed of light?
I was wondering if you could explain why time slows down when we approach the speed of light.
Certainly. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time and space are woven together into a single fabric called spacetime. When an object moves through spacetime, it experiences time dilation. The closer an object gets to the speed of light, the slower time passes for that object.
