Time dilation means that time passes differently for different observers from "summary" of Time Travel in Einstein's Universe by J. Richard Gott

Imagine two observers, one on a speeding rocket ship and the other on a stationary planet. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time would pass differently for each of them. The observer on the rocket ship would experience time passing more slowly compared to the observer on the planet. This phenomenon is known as time dilation. The reason behind this is that time is not a fixed concept but rather a fluid one that can change depending on the relative motion of observers. As an observer's speed increases, time for them begins to slow down. This means that two observers moving at different speeds would actually experience time in different ways. This concept ca...
