Celebrating another revolution around the Sun βοΈ
.
Yes its my birthday! πππ
And celebrating my last birthday as a Miss....
Finger crossed this time next week I will be Dr π€
.
As we all get older, we all think about looking younger more and more. While you might think that it is just lotions and potions that is going to give you that fresh faced glow, what if there was another way?
.
So we have all heard that time π is relative right? Well we used to believe that time was one of the only constants in life but then Einstein came along and ruined that one.
.
Einsteins Theory of Relativity combines space π with time π to create the idea of the fabric of space-time of which makes up our universe. But we all measure our experience in space-time differently and thats because its curved and can be bent by matter or energy. Just imagine putting a bowling ball π³ in the middle of a trampoline.
.
So depending on our position and speed π¬, time appears to move faster or slower relative to others at a different point in space-time.
.
Take the astronauts π¨βππ©βπ on the International Space Station for example. They age just a teeny bit slower than us here on Earth due to these time dilations.
.
Okay... so a trip into orbit π is not going be an option for the vast majority of us. So you might just have to stick to your lotions and potions for now. And it might not be the fountain of youth we are hoping for as a 6 month stint on the ISS it would only get you an extra 0.007 seconds of life - but its some pretty cool scienceπ¬ to share for my birthday right?
.
Im celebrating today with some pretty awesome news too which I will share with you all tomorrow...
.
How has your day been?
