The Theory of Relativity (Time Dilation)
Time dilation is calculated using the special theory of relativity.
We convert the time T0 of an object moving at a relative velocity v with respect to an observer into the time T as seen by the observer.
| Observer’s time T | seconds |
| Relative velocity as a fraction of the speed of light: v/c | % |
The closer the relative velocity is to the speed of light, the slower time passes for an object as seen by an observer.
| \(\normalsize \hspace{20px} T={\large\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-{\large\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}}},\hspace{20px}c=299792.458km/s\) |
