Time dilation
text:
Time dilation is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them, or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations. When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity. After compensating for varying signal delays resulting from the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock, the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking more slowly than a clock at rest in the observer'
