time distortion

Time distortion refers to the phenomenon where the perception of time can vary depending on different conditions, such as speed or gravity. In physics, particularly Einstein's theory of relativity, it describes how time can pass differently for observers in different frames of reference. For example, someone traveling near the speed of light would experience time more slowly compared to someone at rest. Similarly, strong gravitational fields can also cause time to slow down. This means that time is not absolute and can be experienced differently based on one’s movement and environment.
