About this listen

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating concept of the "twin paradox," a thought experiment from Einstein's theory of relativity. Imagine two twins: one stays on Earth while the other embarks on a high-speed journey through space. Upon the traveling twin's return, they find that their sibling has aged much more than they have. How is this possible? Join us as we explore how time dilates at near-light speeds, challenging our everyday understanding of time and revealing the mind-bending implications of Einstein’s theory.
