Do you age slower if you go fast? The science of speed and time

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the faster an object moves, the slower time passes for it relative to an observer. But how does this apply to human longevity and the question, **Do you age slower if you go fast**? The answer lies in understanding the difference between chronological and biological aging and the subtle, real-world effects of time dilation.

A Relativistic Look: Would You Age Slower on the Sun?

According to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, time passes more slowly in stronger gravitational fields. This means that, purely from a physics perspective, the answer to 'would you age slower on the Sun?' is a mind-bending 'yes,' but with a crucial caveat: it’s only relative to someone experiencing less gravity.

Does going fast make you age slower? A look at physics and biology

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, a person traveling at very high speeds relative to another person will age more slowly in comparison. This fascinating concept, known as time dilation, leads to the intriguing question: does going fast make you age slower in a practical sense?
