The Physics of Time Dilation at High Speeds
As you approach the speed of light, time behaves differently due to the principles of relativity and time dilation. The twin paradox explains that if one twin travels on a high-speed rocket, they will return to Earth to find their twin has aged faster than they have. This is because people measure different amounts of time passing depending on how fast they move relative to one another. The experience of time is dependent on motion, and the speed of light is the same for every observer, no matter where they are or how fast they are moving.
