Time on Earth floated faster than in the universe

Earth's movement around the sun and the solar system's movement makes people feel time on the planet floats faster than when we stand still in the universe.

The universe is a place where space and time have a relationship with each other. Physicist Albert Einstein - one of the most eminent scientists of the 20th century - once claimed that people move at higher speeds, and it seems that time is also faster. Scientists have proved Einstein's hypothesis (named "dilation of time" ) in some experiments.

But the earth is also a moving object in the universe. So does time on earth drift faster than non-celestial bodies? This is the question a reader sends to Ask A Mathematician . Later, an expert with the nickname "physicist" answered the question.

According to the "physicist" , the movement of the earth around the sun and the rotation of the solar system around the Milky Way makes people on Earth feel time flies faster. People on Earth can't feel that effect clearly even though we can calculate it, Daily Mail reported.

Of course, if you stand at the ends of the earth's axis, people cannot sense the speed of the planet's movement. But if we stand at the equator, we can see that the earth is rotating with 0.5km / sec hair.

"People who live in the town of Longyearbyen in Norway (near the extreme) will feel that time passes more slowly than those who live in Ecuador (near the equator). That difference is very small, only about one trillionths of a second, but it helps people in Longyearbyen town have one more second after 25,000 years, " said the expert.

The globe is revolving around the sun at a speed of about 30km / sec, while the rotation speed of the solar system around the Milky Way is up to 200km / sec. The Milky Way itself is also wandering in the universe. These three types of movements make us feel time passes faster than those who don't move in the universe. For example, each week on the globe is a second shorter than each week in the intergalactic space.

"We should remember that time is just a relative thing and we cannot calculate the time for the whole universe with a single type of clock. That means that each individual will have a feeling. Get different on time, ' the expert emphasized.
