Why does time slow down near the speed of light?
Umar Shaikh
l have a question about science.Time slows down near the speed of light because, according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, moving clocks run slower compared to those at rest. This effect called time dilation happens because space and time are linked and change for objects moving very fast. So basically why does time slow down near the speed of light?

Time slows down near the speed of light due to time dilation, a concept from Einstein’s theory of relativity. As an object moves faster, time passes more slowly for it relative to a stationary observer.Add a comment

Time slows down near the speed of light because, as Einstein explained, very fast motion affects how time passes. When something moves close to light speed, time for that object runs more slowly compared to someone at rest. This slowing down is called time dilation.Add a comment
