Why Your Head Is Older Than Your Feet | Episode 09
from All The Things · host Travis
In this episode of All The Things, Travikiss breaks down one of the strangest truths in physics — time doesn’t move the same everywhere. The closer you are to gravity, the slower time moves.Using the famous scene from Interstellar, we explore how time dilation actually works in the real universe. The same effect that made Romilly age 23 years while the crew experienced only 3 hours is also happening on Earth — even across the length of your own body.And it’s not just a weird physics trick…If scientists didn’t correct for time dilation, the GPS in your phone would drift about 7 miles every single day.In this video we cover:• Why gravity slows down time• The real physics behind the Interstellar time dilation scene• The experiment where scientists proved time moves faster higher above Earth• Why GPS satellites must correct for time every day• And the mind-bending truth about how gravity bends the fabric of timeThis isn’t science fiction.It’s the physics that quietly runs the modern world.If you enjoy complicated stuff explained simply, subscribe and join us each week as we explore the strange, fascinating rules that govern our universe.🔔 Subscribe for more:https://www.youtube.com/@travikiss🌐 Website (still under construction):https://travikiss.com/Sign up for the newsletter to hear about new projects and videos.#TimeDilation #Einstein #Interstellar #Physics #Space #ScienceExplained
