Is there a way to slow down time?

Question

Is there a way to slow down time?

Answer 1

No. Never. Only fast forward in space.

Answer 2

The faster you travel approaching the speed of light, the more time will slow down for you.

But to slow down time universally, I don't think so.

Answer 3

"In general relativity, clocks at lower potentials in a gravitational field — such as in proximity to a planet — are found to be running slower."    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilati...

"Gravitational time dilation is the effect of time passing at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential; the higher the local distortion of spacetime due to gravity, the slower time passes. Albert Einstein originally predicted this effect in his theory of relativity and it has since been confirmed by tests of general relativity."

"This has been demonstrated by noting that atomic clocks at differing altitudes (and thus different gravitational potential) will eventually show different times. The effects detected in such experiments are extremely small, with differences being measured in nanoseconds."   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation...

for instance living on a higher gravity planet will have some effect in slowing down time, theoretically if you could live on a star (without being crushed by gravity) you could slow down time even more (for yourself in comparison to persons in regions of different gravitational potential)

Answer 4

no and i wish there wuz.  just hav time to slow down.

Answer 5

No, you can’t physically slow down time.

You can make it seem to go slower for yourself though.

According to Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity the faster your speed the slower time passes relative to you, however relative to the stationary observer time doesn’t change.  So when an airliner was sent around the world with atomic clocks on board, by the time the aircraft landed its clocks were a few nanoseconds slow.  They had not gone any where near the speed of light, but they had traveled faster than the clocks at home.

According to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_The...

"Special relativity (SR) (also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the physical theory of measurement in inertial frames of reference proposed in 1905 by Albert Einstein...

The theory is termed "special" because it applies the principle of relativity only to inertial frames...

Time dilation – the time lapse between two events is not invariant from one observer to another, but is dependent on the relative speeds of the observers' reference frames (e.g., the twin paradox which concerns a twin who flies off in a spaceship traveling near the speed of light and returns to discover that his or her twin sibling has aged much more). "

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7

the nearer you reach the speed of light the more the time slows down for you.

so if if you go faster than the speed of light time stops for YOU

universally you just cant stop or slow time until the EARTH stars moving faster
