Time is influenced by the observer's perspective from "summary" of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli
In the realm of physics, time is not an absolute entity that flows uniformly for everyone. Rather, it is a flexible and malleable concept that is influenced by the observer's perspective. This means that time can be perceived differently depending on one's position, velocity, and gravitational field. As physicist Albert Einstein famously theorized, time is relative and can be stretched or compressed depending on these factors. When two observers are moving relative to each other, they will experience time differently. This phenomenon, known as time dilation, occurs because the speed at which time flows is not constant for all observers. For example, if one observer is traveli...
