Your head lives a longer life than your feet do

There’s no such thing as absolute time. No matter where you are, how
fast you’re moving, or how strong the gravitational field is around
you, any clock you have on you will always record time as passing at
the same rate: one second per second. For any solitary observer, time
simply flows.

But if you have two different clocks, you can compare how time flows
under different conditions. If one clock remains stationary while the
other travels quickly, the fast-moving clock will experience a smaller
amount of time passing than the stationary clock: that’s the rule
of time dilation in special relativity.

The Ingenious F1 Wing Trick That Helped Oscar Piastri Win the
Azerbaijan GP
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=70466&nl=daily]
Oscar Piastri’s dominant win at the 2024 Azerbaijan Formula 1 Grand
