About this listen

 Astronauts living on Mars for extended periods would experience time differently compared to people on Earth due to gravitational time dilation. This phenomenon, rooted in Einstein's theories of relativity, reveals that time flows at varying rates depending on the strength of gravity or the speed of an observer.On Earth, this effect is imperceptible in daily life but still exists. For example, because your feet are closer to Earth's gravitational pull than your head, time passes just a fraction of a nanosecond slower at your feet than at your head. While the difference is negligible, it’s a measurable demonstration of how gravity influences the passage of time...
