Episode notes
Relative Time
- Different observers might experience different durations due to travel and Earth's rotation.
- There's no single "correct" time, as it depends on the chosen reference frame.
Time Zones and Relativity
- Time zones illustrate how location influences time perception.
- Relativistic effects, like time dilation due to motion, further emphasize time's subjectivity.
No Universal Time
- The lack of a universal time means synchronized clocks for all observers are impossible.
- Time passes differently based on location and movement, making global timekeeping inaccurate.
