Someone created a visual timelapse of Miller's Planet and Earth from Interstellar...

I could never wrap my head around the time dilation thing

Wait til you see Project Hail Mary.

Can’t wait for this movie. I read the book and thought it was amazing. I don’t remember it getting too deep in the woods with time dilation. But I don’t need to know how it works to enjoy stories that include it

Need to see the age progression of Murph.

And this board will be full of lovers of "The Martian" hating on it because of the alien. I enjoyed the book, but it caught a lot of flack because it leaned heavily onto the sci-fi part of space travel, and not as much on the nuts-and-bolts aspect they loved in "The Martian"
It'll be an interesting movie for sure.

It’s Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Not Law of Relativity.

Tars and Case are the heros of the film. Everyone else acted stupidly and selfishly.

It’s the references to passage of time while the ships are traveling at near light speed in constant acceleration. Why they packed way too much resources on Rocky’s ship because they don’t understand astrophysics.

Damn time for a rewatch

I mean.. time dilation (due to both general and special relativity) is pretty well-tested. It’s been confirmed experimentally, many times. GPS satellites have to correct for it to keep their clocks in sync - without correction, the drift would throw off position measurements.

Yet, it still hasn’t been made a Law. I just believe the physics of the universe are still well beyond our full understanding.

That’s.. not really how it works.

You’re not exactly going out on a limb here. Of course there’s a lot we don’t understand.
I’m simply pointing out that time dilation has been verified experimentally and is already factored into real-world applied science. Someone could write a “law of time dilation” I suppose, but it’d be kind of silly considering the formulas are derived from relativity.

What will really blow your mind is that all points in time are equally real.
The present being somehow more "real" than the past or future is a matter of perspective not reality.
You bedroom isn't more real when ur inside of it than when you're not.
Time is a dimension, not a linear consumed entity.
