Einstein's theory of relativity makes you less

Learn how to affect the performance of the theory of relativity of space, objects and time

The theory of relativity is known, first of all, that gives us an opportunity to take a fresh look at the time - the faster you move, the slower time moves. But there are also other effects, for example, the faster you move, the less.

The most notable result of the work of Einstein's relativity theory is the idea that the time slows down as the acceleration of the object. Less well known is the fact that time slows down only for the person watching the movement. If two twin synchronize watches, but then one of them will sit on the train, the clock will show the same time as long as the train begins to move. Twin, who is on the train - call it Mary - does not notice that it is slowing down the clock. However, the second twin, remaining at the station - Karl - notice that the clock Mary went slowly, when they re-synchronize watches.

Which of them is right? Both. Experiments show that the unstable particles disintegrate slowly if accelerated to high velocity - time for them literally slows. How to slow down time, both for the particles, and to Mary?

All that remains for our twins identical, - this is the speed with which they move away from each other, and thus easy to understand, whose time goes "wrong". If a train is coming, say, at a speed of five meters per second, and the twins at the same time look at the clock after the train has passed this distance from the station, and then synchronize watches, you will know who is right.

However, they do not be able to Karl looks at the clock in ten seconds, and understand that the train passed 50 meters, but watch Mary at this time tell her that the train is in motion just nine seconds, and when she wants to measure the distance, the for her, it will be 45 meters. Not only that, there was a time warp - this is reflected also on the space.

The same goes for the decaying particles. If you calculate the slowing of time at the current speed of the particles, you can observe how the particles move along a predetermined path to the finish line, where it will disintegrate. Looking at it from the outside, you would see that the particles move for a long time at high speed before fall apart and disintegrate in this case they are long.

And if you were moving with them from time to time glancing at the clock, then you would have seen how they break down at normal speed. Particles in any case fall apart at the finish line, but you will not find that the finish line is far from the start. Thus, the trip will seem short: the slowdown time is a reduction of the distance.
