Is Time Slower In Space
And for astronauts on the international space station.
Is time slower in space. Time is not slower or faster in space. Time dilation explains why two working clocks will report different times after different accelerations. For example time goes slower at the iss lagging approximately 0 01 seconds for every 12 earth months passed.
For gps satellites to work they must adjust for similar bending of spacetime to coordinate properly with systems on earth. If the observer is moving relative to the event then time changes by the theory of relativity but only between the event. So depending on our position and speed time can appear to move faster or slower to us relative to others in a different part of space time.
